algebraIs the point a solution to the system?
A
Only for the first equation
B
Cannot be determined
C
Yes
D
No
Correct Answer: C
Choice C 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 is only a solution if it works for ALL equations in the system.
Choice A is incorrect because the point satisfies both equations, not just the first one.
Choice B is incorrect because we can always determine if a point is a solution through substitution.
Choice D is incorrect because the point does satisfy both equations.
