HELP! 50 POINTS!

A system of equations consists of a line s of the equation y = x - 5 that is graphed in orange, and a line t that passes through the points (0, 2) and (8, -4). The equation of line t is y = −3/4 x + 2.
What is the solution to this system of linear equations?

Answer form: ( __ , __ )

(4, -1) ---> x = 4 and y = -1

If you look at the graph you can se this

Mark points (0, 2) and (8, -4) in the coordinate plane

Plot the line going through both of these points.

Read the coordinates of the intersection of the line so you can see the solution!
