I am having a hard time with an Algebra question on systems of equations and graphing:

y= 5x-8

y= -5x+2


The answer choices are:

AThe solution is ______( fill in whatever the solution is)__.
BThere is infinitely many solutions.
CThere is no solution.

I also have to graph it so what what would I graph if need be?

Thanks so much!!!

Verified Answer :

1)First you substitute what we already know y equals
-5x+2=5x-8
2) if you solve that you get that x=1
3) put x back in one of the original equations
y=5(1)-8
4) then you get y as -2

A) the solution is x=1 y=-2

You would graph x and y and a coordinate point (1,-2)
