Answer:

The point (Negative 4, negative one-fourth) is a solution to this system of equations

Explanation:

y = 8x - 2

y = - 4x - 5

y - 8x = - 2 - - (1)

y + 4x = - 5 - - - (2)

Subtract 1 and 2

-8x - 4x = - 2 - (-5)

-8x - 4x = 3

-12x = 3

x = - 1/4

y = 8(-1/4) - 2

y = - 2 - 2

y = - 4

(-1/4, - 4)
