Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows a solid line and a dotted line with arrows at both the ends intersecting with each other. The x axis extends from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. The y axis extends from negative 5 to 15 in increments of 1. The equation of the solid line is y equals negative 2 x plus 10. The equation of the dotted line is y equals negative 5 x plus 7. The lines intersect at left parenthesis negative 1 comma 12 right parenthesis which is not plotted as a point.

Estimate the solution to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.

y=−5x+7

y=−2x+10

The intersection point of the two lines given by the equations \( y = -5x + 7 \) and \( y = -2x + 10 \) is where their outputs (y-values) are equal for the same x-value. From the information provided, the lines intersect at the point \((-1, 12)\).

Therefore, based on the graph, the estimated solution to the system of these linear equations is:

\((-1, 12)\)
