The point (0,-2) is a solution to which system of equations?

Question

(2 points)
-x+y=2
-x+2y=16
-4x+y=6
-5x-y=21
-5x=y-3
3x-8y=24
-5x+y=-2
-3x+6y=-12

Answer 1

The point (0,-2) is a solution to the system of equations:

-x + y = 2
-5x + y = -2

Substitute x = 0 and y = -2 into the first equation:
-0 + (-2) = 2
-2 = 2 (not true)

Substitute x = 0 and y = -2 into the second equation:
-5(0) - 2 = -2
-2 = -2

Therefore, the point (0,-2) is a solution to the second equation:
-5x + y = -2
