Question

y = -5x + 2
y = -7x + 6
(□, □)
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Set equations equal

To find the intersection, set \(-5x + 2 = -7x + 6\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

Add \(7x\) to both sides: \(2x + 2 = 6\). Subtract 2: \(2x = 4\), so \(x = 2\).

Step3: Find \(y\)

Substitute \(x = 2\) into \(y = -5x + 2\): \(y = -5(2) + 2 = -10 + 2 = -8\).

Answer:

\((2, -8)\)
