Where the above is given, note that the solution to the system is x = 0 and y = -5. See the attached graph

To solve the system of equations \(y = 4x - 5 and \(y = -2x - 5, we'll set the two equations equal to each other:

4x - 5 = -2x - 5

Combine like terms:

6x = 0

Divide by 6:

x = 0

Now that we have the value for \(x, substitute it back into one of the original equations. Let's use \(y = 4x - 5:

y = 4(0) - 5

y = -5

So, the solution to the system is x = 0 and y = -5.
