but written in y=mx+b form they are both y=4x+2

Check all that apply. Select the statement(s) that correctly describes the solution to this system of equations:
8x - 2y = - 4

4x - y = - 2
Solve this system by elimination since it is already in standard form and lined up nicely.

There is exactly one solution to this system of linear equations and it is (2, 0).

There are infinite solutions to this system of linear equations.

These lines are parallel, so there is no solution to this system of linear equations.

There is exactly one solution to this system of linear equations and it is (0, -2).

Solve this system by substitution since one of the variables is defined by the other without having to do any mat

The correct statement that describes the solution to this system of equations is:

There is exactly one solution to this system of linear equations and it is (2, 0).

This is because both equations are in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In this case, both equations have a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of 2.

Therefore, the lines are not parallel and intersect at a single point, which is (2, 0).
