Answer:

  It satisfies both equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on the graph of an equation are the values of the variables that satisfy the equation (make it true).

In a system of equations, you're generally looking for values of the variables that satisfy all of the equations in the system. That is, the solution will be a point on the graph of every equation in the system.

For a point to be on more than one graph, it must lie at a point of intersection of the graphs. If all of the graphs of a system go through the point of intersection, that point satisfies all of the equations, so is a solution of the system of equations.
