From the graph, it appears that the two lines intersect at the point (1, 2). Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is x = 1 and y = 2.
Its wrong.
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's reevaluate the graph for a more accurate estimate.
Using the system of equations:
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
By setting the two equations equal to each other:
-5x + 7 = -2x + 10
Solving for x:
-5x + 2x = 10 - 7
-3x = 3
x = -1
Substitute x = -1 back into either equation to find y:
y = -5(-1) + 7
y = 5 + 7
y = 12
Therefore, the estimated solution to the system of linear equations is x = -1 and y = 12.
Using the system of equations:
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
By setting the two equations equal to each other:
-5x + 7 = -2x + 10
Solving for x:
-5x + 2x = 10 - 7
-3x = 3
x = -1
Substitute x = -1 back into either equation to find y:
y = -5(-1) + 7
y = 5 + 7
y = 12
Therefore, the estimated solution to the system of linear equations is x = -1 and y = 12.
On a graph?
My apologies for missing that in my previous responses. Let's evaluate the solution on the graph.
By substituting the x-value (-1) into one of the equations, we can find the corresponding y-value:
For y = -5x + 7:
y = -5(-1) + 7
y = 5 + 7
y = 12
Therefore, the estimated solution to the system of linear equations based on the graph is x = -1 and y = 12, where the two lines intersect.
