This system has one solution.

y=8x−14
y=x^2+4x−10

What is the y-coordinate of the solution?

1 answer

y = 8x - 14
y = x^2 + 4x - 10

From these equations, you get:

8x - 14 = x^2 + 4x - 10
4x - 4 = x^2
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0
(x - 2)^2 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2

So, the x-coordinate of the solution is 2.

You can simply plus this into either equation to find the y-coordinate.

y = 8x - 14
= 8(2) - 14
= 16 - 14
= 2
