Based on the graph of the two equations, it seems that they intersect at the point (1, 2). This point is the solution to the system of linear equations y = -5x + 7 and y = -2x + 10.
wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's try to re-estimate the solution based on the graph of the two equations:
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2, -3). Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is x = 2 and y = -3.
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (2, -3). Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations is x = 2 and y = -3.
wrong still
Let's revisit the equations:
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
To find the intersection point, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
-5x + 7 = -2x + 10
Now, let's solve for x:
-5x + 2x = 10 - 7
-3x = 3
x = -1
Now, substitute x back into one of the original equations to find the y-coordinate:
y = -5(-1) + 7
y = 5 + 7
y = 12
Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations y = -5x + 7 and y = -2x + 10 is x = -1 and y = 12.
y = -5x + 7
y = -2x + 10
To find the intersection point, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
-5x + 7 = -2x + 10
Now, let's solve for x:
-5x + 2x = 10 - 7
-3x = 3
x = -1
Now, substitute x back into one of the original equations to find the y-coordinate:
y = -5(-1) + 7
y = 5 + 7
y = 12
Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations y = -5x + 7 and y = -2x + 10 is x = -1 and y = 12.
