Answer:

(1,2)

or

x = 1

y = 2

Explanation:

To solve the system of two linear equations by graphing, plot the graphs of both lines (linear equation represents the line).

1. The line with the equation
5x+y=7 intersects the y-axis at point (0,7) and the x-axis at point
((7)/(5),0). Connect these to points with the straight line.

2. The line with the equation
2x+y=4 intersects the y-axis at point (0,4) and the x-axis at point
(2,0). Connect these to points with the straight line.

he point of intersection (1,2) of these two lines is the solution to the system of two linear equations.
