Question

Consider the following system of equations. Line 1: x + y = -2 Line 2: 3x - y = 2 Part A: The ordered pair (-4, 2) is a solution to O Line 1. O Line 2. o the system of equations.​

Answer 1

(a) Line 1

Explanation:

The given point is only a solution to the equation for Line 1. This is shown in the attached graph.

__

You can put those values into each equation to see if it is satisfied.

1: -4 +2 = -2 . . . . this equation is satisfied.

2: 3(-4) -(2) = -14 ≠ 2 . . . . this equation is not satisfied

(-4, 2) is a solution to the Line 1 equation only.
