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

The lines intersect at the point (-1, 12). Therefore, the estimate of the solution of the system of linear equations based on the graph is (-1, 12). Hence, the correct answer is (-1, 12).
are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. Based on the information given, it appears that the lines intersect at the point (-1, 12). Therefore, the estimate of the solution of the system of linear equations based on the graph is indeed (-1, 12).
