To find the solution to the system of equations represented by the lines \( x - 5y = 7 \) and \( 3x - 2y = -4 \), we need to solve the system.

Starting with the first equation:

1. \( x - 5y = 7 \)

We can express \( x \) in terms of \( y \):

\[
x = 5y + 7
\]

Now substituting \( x \) into the second equation:

2. \( 3x - 2y = -4 \)

Substituting \( x = 5y + 7 \):

\[
3(5y + 7) - 2y = -4
\]

Expanding this:

\[
15y + 21 - 2y = -4
\]

Combining like terms:

\[
13y + 21 = -4
\]

Now, isolating \( y \):

\[
13y = -4 - 21
\]
\[
13y = -25
\]
\[
y = -\frac{25}{13}
\]

Now that we have \( y \), we substitute back to find \( x \):

\[
x = 5\left(-\frac{25}{13}\right) + 7
\]
\[
x = -\frac{125}{13} + 7
\]
\[
x = -\frac{125}{13} + \frac{91}{13}
\]
\[
x = -\frac{34}{13}
\]

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[
\left(-\frac{34}{13}, -\frac{25}{13}\right)
\]

As a decimal approximation, this would be approximately:

\[
(-2.615, -1.923)
\]

Therefore, the intersection point is:

\[
\left(-\frac{34}{13}, -\frac{25}{13}\right)
\]

Sure! Let's simplify the process of finding the intersection point of the two equations, \(x - 5y = 7\) and \(3x - 2y = -4\).

### Step 1: Solve the first equation for \(x\)

From the first equation:

\[
x - 5y = 7
\]

We can express \(x\) in terms of \(y\):

\[
x = 5y + 7
\]

### Step 2: Substitute into the second equation

Next, we take the second equation, \(3x - 2y = -4\), and substitute \(x\) from the first equation:

\[
3(5y + 7) - 2y = -4
\]

### Step 3: Simplify

Now we will simplify the equation:

\[
15y + 21 - 2y = -4
\]
\[
13y + 21 = -4
\]

### Step 4: Isolate \(y\)

Now isolate \(y\):

\[
13y = -4 - 21
\]
\[
13y = -25
\]
\[
y = -\frac{25}{13}
\]

### Step 5: Substitute to find \(x\)

Now substitute \(y\) back into the equation for \(x\):

\[
x = 5\left(-\frac{25}{13}\right) + 7
\]
\[
x = -\frac{125}{13} + \frac{91}{13}
\]
\[
x = -\frac{34}{13}
\]

### Final Answer

So the intersection point of the two lines is:

\[
\left(-\frac{34}{13}, -\frac{25}{13}\right)
\]

As approximate decimal values, this is about:

\[
(-2.615, -1.923)
\]

### Conclusion

Thus, the intersection point is:

\[
\left(-\frac{34}{13}, -\frac{25}{13}\right)
\]

If you just need the coordinates, it can be written as:

\[
(-2.615, -1.923)
\]
