Neither of these points are solutions.
Neither of these points are solutions.

Both of these points are solutions.

Answer 1

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.**
