The solution to the system of equations is the point where the two lines intersect. According to your description, the lines intersect at the point \((-1, 12)\). Therefore, the correct response is:
\((-1, 12)\)
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 (1 point)
