An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x axis extending from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1 and the y axis extending from negative 5 to 15 in increments of 1. A solid line and a dotted line with arrows at both ends intersect each other. The equation of the solid line is y equals one half x plus 6. The equation of the dotted line is y equals 2 x plus 3. The lines intersect at left parenthesis 2 comma 7 right parenthesis which is not plotted as a point.
Estimate the solution to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.
y=2x+3
y=12x+6

Based on the description of the graph and the information provided, the solid line representing the equation \( y = \frac{1}{2}x + 6 \) and the dotted line representing \( y = 2x + 3 \) intersect at the point \( (2, 7) \).
Therefore, the correct response is:
(2, 7)
