Spot the Difference

Stage: 5 Short Challenge Level: Challenge Level:2 Challenge Level:2

In this problem there are three equations of straight lines and three more complicated relations between x and y.

Consider all the factors of the non-linear expressions to discover what points lie on their graphs.

The more complicated relations have extra points (x, y) which satisfy the relations but the computer does not notice.You have to be cleverer than the computer and find the extra points satisfying the relation that do not show up on the computer's graph. To do this you need to look at all the factors in the expressions and find when they are zero.
