Estimate the solution to the system of these linear equations based on the graph.

Question

y=−5x+7

y=−2x+10

(12,−1)

(1,−12)

(−1, 12)

(−1,−12)

Answer 1

Based on the graph of the two equations, the intersection point appears to be approximately (-1, 12). This suggests that the solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = 12.
