Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

Given the equations


y=-6x-10


y=-3x-21

solving the system of the equations

Arrange the equation variables for elimination


\begin{bmatrix}y+6x=-10\\ y+3x=-21\end{bmatrix}


y+3x=-21


-


\underline{y+6x=-10}


-3x=-11


\begin{bmatrix}y+6x=-10\\ -3x=-11\end{bmatrix}

solve


-3x=-11

Divide both sides by -3


(-3x)/(-3)=(-11)/(-3)


x=(11)/(3)


\mathrm{For\:}y+6x=-10\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}x=(11)/(3)


y+6\cdot (11)/(3)=-10


y+6\cdot (11)/(3)=-10


y=-32

Therefore, the solutions to the system of the equations are:


y=-32,\:x=(11)/(3)

But, it seems none of the options is true.
