Answer:

(-5, -3)

Explanation:

To graph the two equations, you can look at two things, the slope and the y-intercept.

The two equations are in slope-intercept form, y= mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is rise/run and the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.

In the first equation, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -8. So, to graph you would start at (0, 8) and move up one unit and then left one unit to get the next point.

For the second equation, the slope is 2/5 and the y-intercept is -1. So, to graph you would do the same thing. Start at (0, -1) and then go up 2 units and right 5 units to get the next point.

I've attached a graph below if you need it.
