Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Linear Equations
Linear equations represent relationships between variables that can be graphed as straight lines. In the given system, the equation 2x + y = 1 is linear, meaning it can be solved for y in terms of x or vice versa. Understanding how to manipulate and graph linear equations is essential for finding intersections with other equations.

Categorizing Linear Equations
Nonlinear Equations
Nonlinear equations involve variables raised to a power greater than one or involve products of variables, resulting in curves rather than straight lines. The equation x^2 + y^2 = 10 represents a circle in the Cartesian plane. Recognizing the shape and properties of nonlinear equations is crucial for solving systems that include both linear and nonlinear components.

Nonlinear Inequalities
Systems of Equations
A system of equations consists of two or more equations that share common variables. The goal is to find values for these variables that satisfy all equations simultaneously. In this case, solving the system involves finding points of intersection between the linear equation and the circle, which can yield multiple solutions, including the one given in the question.
