To find the solution to the system of equations \( y = 52x - 4 \) and \( y = -12x + 5 \), you need to determine where the two lines intersect. The intersection point represents the solution to the system.

You can set the equations equal to each other to find the x-coordinate of the intersection:

\[ 52x - 4 = -12x + 5 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 52x + 12x = 5 + 4 \]

\[ 64x = 9 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{9}{64} \]

Next, substitute \( x \) back into either equation to find the corresponding \( y \)-coordinate. Let's use the first equation:

\[ y = 52\left(\frac{9}{64}\right) - 4 \]

Calculating this:

\[ y = \frac{468}{64} - 4 = \frac{468}{64} - \frac{256}{64} = \frac{212}{64} = \frac{53}{16} \]

So, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ \left( \frac{9}{64}, \frac{53}{16} \right) \]

Thus, the response is:

\[ \left( \frac{9}{64}, \frac{53}{16} \right) \]
