Given point (4,-2)

Substitute the point in each given systems.

A) y = -x+2 ⇒ -2 = -4+2 ⇒ -2 = -2

y  = 4x-2 ⇒ -2 = -16-2 ⇒ -2 = -18

The point does not satisify the system.

B) y = -x+2  ⇒ -2 = -4+2 ⇒-2 = -2

y = -2+4 ⇒-2 = 2

The point does not satisify the system.

C)y = x-2 ⇒ -2 = 4-2 ⇒-2 = 2

The point does not satisify the system.

D) y = 2x-10 ⇒-2 = 8-10 ⇒ -2 = -2

y = x-6 ⇒ -2 = 4-6 ⇒ -2 = -2

Here the point satisify the system.

So (4,-2) is solution of these system.

Option D is correct answer.
