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 whether the given points \((0, 2)\) and \((0, -4)\) are solutions to the system of equations \(y = 2x + 2\) and \(y = 2x - 4\), we will substitute the x-coordinates of the points into each equation and see if the corresponding y-values are satisfied.

  1. For the point \((0, 2)\):

    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the first equation \(y = 2x + 2\): \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] So, the point \((0, 2)\) satisfies the first equation.

    • Now substitute \(x = 0\) into the second equation \(y = 2x - 4\): \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] The point \((0, 2)\) does not satisfy the second equation.

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

    • Substitute \(x = 0\) into the first equation \(y = 2x + 2\): \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] The point \((0, -4)\) does not satisfy the first equation.

    • Now substitute \(x = 0\) into the second equation \(y = 2x - 4\): \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] So, the point \((0, -4)\) satisfies the second equation.

Since neither point satisfies both equations simultaneously, we conclude:

Neither of these points are solutions.
