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 to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.
y=−5x+7
y=−2x+10 (1 point)

Based on the description provided, the correct response for the intersection point of the two lines (which is the solution to the system of equations) is:
\((-1, 12)\)
This matches the point mentioned in your description as the point where the two lines intersect.
