Solve for x in 2nd equation
times -1 both sides
x-5=6y
add 5
x=6y+5

sub

5(6y+5)+4y=-26
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
minus 25 both sides
34y=-51
divide both sides by 34
y=-3/2
sub back

x=6y+5
x=6(-3/2)+5
x=-18/2+5
x=-9+5
x=-4


(-4,-3/2) is solution

We write x in terms of y in order to substitute using the second equation
-x=-6y-5
x= 6y+5

We substitute what we got above in the first equation 
5(6y+5)+4y=-26

We solve for y
30y+25+4y=-26
34y+25=-26
34y=-51
y=-51/34

Then we plug what we got for y back in our first equation in order to get the value of x as well

x=6(-51/34)+5
x=-4

So the solutions are:
x=-4
y=-1.5

The answer is A.) \frac{-1}{10}x+15 

To find this answer the first thing we need to do is look at the equation of a straight line: y=mx+b

What I did first was look at b. b represents the y-intercept. By looking at the graph we can tell that the line crosses the y-axis at (0,15), so the y- intercept is 15. So our answer should at least have b=15. Using this we can go ahead and eliminate answers B & C 

Next we look at the slope (m). One way you can figure out slope is using the rise over run method. Since this line has a negative slope our rise should be a negative number. So, the only answer that should be left is A.) \frac{-1}{10}x+15
