Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. A solid line and a dotted line with arrows at both the ends intersect each other. The equation of the solid line is y equals 3 x minus 2. The equation of the dotted line is y equals negative x plus 6. The lines intersect at left parenthesis 2 comma 4 right parenthesis which is not plotted as a point.

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

y=−x+6


y=3x−2

The lines defined by the equations \(y = -x + 6\) and \(y = 3x - 2\) intersect at the point \((2, 4)\). Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ \boxed{(2, 4)} \]
