1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the system of linear equations by graphing:
5x4y=205x - 4y = 20
6x+y=56x + y = -5

2. Solution Steps

First, we rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+by = mx + b).
For the first equation, 5x4y=205x - 4y = 20, we solve for yy:
4y=5x+20-4y = -5x + 20
y=5x+204y = \frac{-5x + 20}{-4}
y=54x5y = \frac{5}{4}x - 5
For the second equation, 6x+y=56x + y = -5, we solve for yy:
y=6x5y = -6x - 5
Now, we find the point of intersection by setting the two equations equal to each other:
54x5=6x5\frac{5}{4}x - 5 = -6x - 5
54x+6x=0\frac{5}{4}x + 6x = 0
54x+244x=0\frac{5}{4}x + \frac{24}{4}x = 0
294x=0\frac{29}{4}x = 0
x=0x = 0
Now, substitute x=0x = 0 into either equation to find yy. Using the second equation:
y=6(0)5y = -6(0) - 5
y=5y = -5
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (0,5)(0, -5).

3. Final Answer

The solution is (0,5)(0, -5).
