To graph each line we need two points of each of them. To find them we give values to the variable x.

Equation y=-2/5x-2:

If x=0 then y=-2, then we have the point (0,-2).

If x=-5 then y= 0, then we have the point (-5,0).

Now we plot this point and join them with a line:

Equation y=-x-5:

If x=0 then y=-5, then we have the point (0,-5).

If x=-5 then y= 0, then we have the point (-5,0).

Now we plot this point and join them with a line:

The solution of the system is where the lines intersect. Therefore the solution is the point (-5,0).
