Both of these points are solutions.

1 answer

To determine which points, if any, are solutions to the system of equations:

  1. y=2x+2
  2. y=2x4

We can substitute the points to see if they satisfy both equations.

Check the point (0,4):

Substituting x=0 and y=4 into both equations:

  1. First equation:
    y=2(0)+2
    4=2Not true.

  2. Second equation:
    y=2(0)4
    4=4True.

Since this point only satisfies the second equation and not the first, (0,4) is not a solution for the system.


Check the point (0,2):

Substituting x=0 and y=2 into both equations:

  1. First equation:
    y=2(0)+2
    2=2True.

  2. Second equation:
    y=2(0)4
    2=4Not true.

Since this point only satisfies the first equation and not the second, (0,2) is not a solution for the system.


Since neither point is a solution, the correct response is:

Neither of these points are solutions.
