Answer: (0, 2)

Explanation:

The solution of a system of equations is where the lines intersect at.

We will use substitution to solve the system.

Equations:

y = 1/2x + 2

y = -1/5x + 2

Set both equations to equal each other:

1/2x + 2 = -1/5x + 2

Simplify:

7/10x = 0

x = 0

Plug 0 back in:

y = 1/2(0) + 2

y = 0 + 2

y = 2

The solution is (0, 2)

(This can also be seen by looking at the graph)

Hope this helps!
