Thanks for being honest, informing us that this is an interim exam.  If  you're going to get credit for taking this exam, we can't help.

im not asking for a answer just steps on how to do it @mathmale

anonymous · Answer

i dont get what you mean by that @Apricot

mathmale · Answer

Apricot's suggestion is OK.  He's suggesting that you plug the x- and y-values of each point into the two given equations to determine whether the equations are true or not.

The usual methods of solution of a system of linear equations include:
Substitution
Elimination
Graphing.

I can not give you more help than this; the time for help is when you're doing practice problems.
