100 points! asap! Which graph best represents the solution to the system of equations shown below?

y = -2x + 14
y = 2x + 2

A coordinate grid is shown from negative 10 to positive 10 on the x axis and also on the y axis. Two lines are shown intersecting on the ordered pair 3, 8.

Answer:

A) A coordinate grid is shown from negative 10 to positive 10 on the x axis and also on the y axis. Two lines are shown intersecting on the ordered pair (3, 8)

Explanation:

Given equations:


\textsf{Equation 1}: \quad y=-2x+14


\textsf{Equation 2}: \quad y=2x+2

Substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 and solve for
x:


\implies 2x+2=-2x+14


\implies 4x=12


\implies x=3

Substitute found value of
x into Equation 2 and solve for
y:


\implies y=2(3)+2=8

Therefore, the solution to the system is (3, 8).

This is the point of intersection of the two lines.
