Which of the following ordered pairs is a solution to the system of equations: y = x^2 - 4x and y = 2x - 9?

A (3, -3)
B (1, -7)
C (2, -5)
D (0, -9)

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Set the expressions for y equal: x^2 - 4x = 2x - 9. Rearrange to x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0, which factors as (x-3)^2 = 0. So x=3. Substitute x=3 into y=2x-9 to find y=-3. The solution is (3, -3).
