Explanation

Choice B is correct. The solution x,y to the system of two equations corresponds to the point where the graphs of the equations intersect in the xy-plane. The graphs of the linear equation and the nonlinear equation shown intersect at the point -2,6. Thus, the solution x,y to this system is -2,6.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
