Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate graph goes from negative 10 to 10 in 1-unit increments on both the x- and y-axes. Two linear equations are graphed, along with two points.

The image shows the graph of the system of linear equations {y=2x+2y=2x−4
. Which of the following points, if any, are solutions to the system of equations?

To determine if the points (0, 2) and (0, -4) are solutions to the system of linear equations \(y = 2x + 2\) and \(y = 2x - 4\), we can substitute the \(x\) values of the points into both equations and see if we get the corresponding \(y\) values.

  1. For the point (0, 2):

    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the first equation: \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] This matches the \(y\) value of the point (0, 2).
    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the second equation: \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] This does not match the \(y\) value of the point (0, 2).

    Thus, (0, 2) is a solution to the first equation but not to the second.

  2. For the point (0, -4):

    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the first equation: \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] This does not match the \(y\) value of the point (0, -4).
    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the second equation: \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] This matches the \(y\) value of the point (0, -4).

    Thus, (0, -4) is a solution to the second equation but not to the first.

Given this analysis:

  • The point (0, 2) is a solution to \(y = 2x + 2\), but not to \(y = 2x - 4\).
  • The point (0, -4) is a solution to \(y = 2x - 4\), but not to \(y = 2x + 2\).

Final Answer: Neither of these points are solutions to the system of equations.
