Question

Consider the following system of equations:

Line 1: x+y=−2
Line 2: 3x−y=2
The ordered pair (2, 4) is a solution to:


Line 1
Line 2
The system of equations
Neither line

Answer 1

Line 2

Explanation:

(x = 2, y = 4)

When we input it into Line 1:

2 + 6 = -2; not true

When we input it into Line 2:

3*2 - 4 = 2; true
