Consider the following system of equations:

y = 5x + 6
y = −x − 7

Which description best describes the solution to the system of equations?

Line y = 5x + 6 intersects line y = −x − 7.
Lines y = 5x + 6 and y = −x − 7 intersect the x-axis.
Lines y = 5x + 6 and y = −x − 7 intersect the y-axis.
Line y = 5x + 6 intersects the origin.

Answer:

Line y = 5x + 6 intersects line y = −x − 7.

Explanation:

Both Lines intersect both the x and the y axis.
y = 5x + 6

y = −x − 7
Hope this Helps! :)))

it says
which best describes the SOLUTION to the system of equations
the solution is the set of points that satisfies both equations, it is also the intersection

therfor the answer is the first option "Line y = 5x + 6 intersects line y = −x − 7."
