Answer:  B) y = -x+ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the x-value in the solution (x, y) is 2, then the y-value is:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2} (2)+2 = \frac{2}{2} +2=1+2=3[/tex]

So the solution coordinate is (2, 3).

Test each of the answer choices to see if whether the y-value is 3 when the x-value is 2. If it's true, then it could be the other equation in the system.

A) y = -2x + 4

[tex]y = -2x + 4\\\y = -2(2) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0[/tex]

B) y = -x+ 5

[tex]y = -x+ 5\\y = -(2) + 5 = 5 - 2 =3[/tex]

C) y = 2x

[tex]y=2x\\y=2(2)=4[/tex]

D) y = 2x + 1

[tex]y = 2x + 1\\y=2(2)+1=4+1=5[/tex]
