I think that the answer would be (-7/150,-7/15)

Explanation:

-10x + y = 0

+10x +10x

y = 10x

Put the 10x into 5x3y =-7

5x3(10x) =-7

5x•30x = -7

150x = -7

150x/150 = -7/150

x = -7/150

Put the x value into the first equation to find the y value

-10x + y = 0

-10(-7/150) + y = 0

7/15 + y = 0

-7/15 -7/15

y = -7/15

This gives us (-7/150, -7/15)

*I might be wrong
