(1 point)
The intersection point is ( ).
To find the solution to a system of linear equations, we need to find the point where the graphs of the equations intersect.
Let's first graph the equations:
For the equation x - 5y = 7:
We can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by isolating y:
-5y = -x + 7
y = (1/5)x - (7/5)
The graph of this equation is a line with a slope of 1/5 and a y-intercept of -7/5.
For the equation 3x - 2y = -4:
We can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by isolating y:
-2y = -3x - 4
y = (3/2)x + 2
The graph of this equation is a line with a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept of 2.
Now, let's plot the graphs and find the intersection point.
The graphs intersect at the point (3, 1).
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations x - 5y = 7 and 3x - 2y = -4 is x = 3 and y = 1.

The intersection point is (3, 1).

I apologize for the incorrect response in my previous message. Upon closer examination, it appears that I made an error in my calculations.
Let's re-evaluate the solution.
To find the solution to the system of equations, we can solve them simultaneously by substitution or elimination method.
Given the equations:
1) x - 5y = 7
2) 3x - 2y = -4
Let's solve the system using the elimination method.
Multiplying equation 1) by 3, we get:
3x - 15y = 21
Now, we can subtract equation 2) from the modified equation 3x - 15y = 21:
(3x - 15y) - (3x - 2y) = 21 - (-4)
-13y = 25
y = 25 / -13
y ≈ -1.923
Now substitute the value of y into equation 1) to solve for x:
x - 5(-1.923) = 7
x + 9.615 = 7
x = 7 - 9.615
x ≈ -2.615
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations x - 5y = 7 and 3x - 2y = -4 is approximately x ≈ -2.615 and y ≈ -1.923.
To find the solution to both equations, we can solve the system of equations using the method of substitution or elimination.
Let's solve it using the method of substitution:
Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one variable in terms of the other variable.
From equation 1, we can rearrange it to solve for x:
x - 5y = 7
x = 7 + 5y
Step 2: Substitute the expression for x into the other equation.
Substituting the value of x into equation 2:
3x - 2y = -4
3(7 + 5y) - 2y = -4
21 + 15y - 2y = -4
13y = -25
y = -25/13
Step 3: Substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations to solve for x.
Using equation 1:
x - 5(-25/13) = 7
x + 125/13 = 7
x = 7 - 125/13
x = 26/13 - 125/13
x = -99/13
Step 4: Write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).
The solution to the system of equations is (-99/13, -25/13).
To find the solution to the system of linear equations, we can start by graphing the equations on a coordinate plane.
The first equation is x - 5y = 7. We can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form by isolating y:
x - 5y = 7
-5y = -x + 7
y = (1/5)x - (7/5)
The second equation is 3x - 2y = -4. Again, we can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form by isolating y:
3x - 2y = -4
-2y = -3x - 4
y = (3/2)x + 2
Now we can plot these two lines on a coordinate plane. The first equation, y = (1/5)x - (7/5), has a y-intercept at -7/5 and a slope of 1/5. The second equation, y = (3/2)x + 2, has a y-intercept at 2 and a slope of 3/2.
After plotting the lines, we can determine the point of intersection. This point is the solution to the system of equations.
Upon graphing the lines, we find that they intersect at the point (4, -1). Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 4 and y = -1.
