algebraIs the point a solution to the system?
A
Only for the second equation
B
Yes
C
No
D
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the correct answer. To verify if is a solution, we substitute and into both equations.
First equation: ✓ (True)
Second equation: ✓ (True)
Since the point satisfies both equations, it is a solution to the system.
💡 Strategic Tip: A point must satisfy ALL equations to be a solution to the system.
Choice A is incorrect because the point satisfies both equations, not just the second one.
Choice C is incorrect because the point does satisfy both equations.
Choice D is incorrect because we can always determine if a point is a solution through direct substitution.
