To determine if the points (0, 2) and (0, -4) are solutions to the system of equations given by \( y = 2x + 2 \) and \( y = 2x - 4 \), we can substitute the x-coordinates of each point into both equations.
-
For the point (0, 2):
-
Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the first equation: \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] So the point (0, 2) satisfies the first equation.
-
Now substitute \( x = 0 \) into the second equation: \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] So the point (0, 2) does not satisfy the second equation.
-
-
For the point (0, -4):
-
Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the first equation: \[ y = 2(0) + 2 = 2 \] So the point (0, -4) does not satisfy the first equation.
-
Now substitute \( x = 0 \) into the second equation: \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] So the point (0, -4) satisfies the second equation.
-
Since neither of the points (0, 2) nor (0, -4) satisfies both equations, the correct response is: Neither of these points are solutions.
