To determine if the point (0, -2) is a solution to the system, we substitute the values of x and y from the point into both equations and check if the equations hold true.
For the first equation, we have:
-5(0) + (-2) = -2
0 - 2 = -2
-2 = -2
The equation holds true.
For the second equation, we have:
-3(0) + 6(-2) = -12
0 - 12 = -12
-12 = -12
The equation also holds true.
Since both equations hold true when we substitute the values of x and y from the point (0, -2), we can conclude that (0, -2) is a solution to the system.
is the point (0,-2) a solution to the system below?
-5x + y = -2
-3x + 6y = -12
