To estimate the solution to the system of linear equations given by the equations \( y = 5x + 10 \) and \( y = -2x + 3 \), we can find the intersection point by setting the two equations equal to each other:
\[ 5x + 10 = -2x + 3 \]
Now, let's solve for \( x \):
-
Add \( 2x \) to both sides: \[ 5x + 2x + 10 = 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 7x + 10 = 3 \]
-
Subtract \( 10 \) from both sides: \[ 7x = 3 - 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ 7x = -7 \]
-
Divide both sides by \( 7 \): \[ x = -1 \]
Now, substitute \( x = -1 \) back into one of the original equations to find \( y \). We'll use \( y = -2x + 3 \):
\[ y = -2(-1) + 3 \] \[ y = 2 + 3 \] \[ y = 5 \]
Thus, the solution to the system of equations (the point of intersection) is \( (-1, 5) \).
Based on the given choices:
- (5, -1)
- (1, 5)
- (-1, -5)
- (-1, 5)
The correct response is \((-1, 5)\).
