You have the following system of equations:

y = 2/5 x + 5

2x + y = -7

in order to solve the previous system by graphing, solve the second equation for y:

2x + y = -7

y = -2x - 7

The graphs are shown below:

the solution to the system is the point at which the lines cross each other.

You can notice that such a point is (-5,3).

Hence, the solution to the system is

(-5,3)
