To find the solution to both equations, we need to find the point where the two lines intersect on the graph.
First, let's rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
1) x - 5y = 7
-5y = -x + 7
y = (1/5)x - 7/5
2) 3x - 2y = -4
-2y = -3x - 4
y = (3/2)x + 2
Now let's plot the two lines on the graph:
The first line has a slope of 1/5 and y-intercept of -7/5.
The second line has a slope of 3/2 and y-intercept of 2.
The two lines intersect at the point (-1, -2).
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations x - 5y = 7 and 3x - 2y = -4 is x = -1 and y = -2.
Use the graph to answer the question, x - 5y = 7 and 3x - 2y = -4
Review the graphs of a system of two linear equations in two variables: x - 5y = 7 and 3x - 2y = -4. Find the solution to both equations
