To find the solution to the system of equations, we need to identify the point where the two lines intersect.

The equations given are:

  1. \( y = 5x + 10 \)
  2. \( y = -2x + 3 \)

To find the intersection point, we set the equations equal to each other:

\[ 5x + 10 = -2x + 3 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):

  1. Add \( 2x \) to both sides: \[ 5x + 2x + 10 = 3 \] \[ 7x + 10 = 3 \]

  2. Subtract \( 10 \) from both sides: \[ 7x = 3 - 10 \] \[ 7x = -7 \]

  3. Divide by \( 7 \): \[ x = -1 \]

Now, substitute \( x = -1 \) back into one of the original equations to find \( y \). We can use either equation, but let's use the second equation:

\[ y = -2(-1) + 3 \] \[ y = 2 + 3 \] \[ y = 5 \]

So, the intersection point is \((-1, 5)\).

Based on the options given, the correct response is:

\((-1, 5)\) (which corresponds to the first option).

To estimate the solution to the system of equations based on the graphs provided, we first need to find the intersection point of the two lines defined by the equations:

  1. \( y = -5x + 7 \)
  2. \( y = -2x + 10 \)

To find the intersection point, we set the two equations equal to each other:

\[ -5x + 7 = -2x + 10 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):

  1. Add \( 5x \) to both sides: \[ 7 = 3x + 10 \]

  2. Subtract \( 10 \) from both sides: \[ 7 - 10 = 3x \] \[ -3 = 3x \]

  3. Divide by \( 3 \): \[ x = -1 \]

Now, substitute \( x = -1 \) back into one of the original equations to find \( y \). We can use the second equation:

\[ y = -2(-1) + 10 \] \[ y = 2 + 10 \] \[ y = 12 \]

Thus, the intersection point of the two lines is \((-1, 12)\).

Based on the response options given, the correct answer is:

(−1, 12) (which corresponds to the second option).
