First check whether the point (-6,8) is the solution to any of the equations. To check, just plug in the x and y values of the points into the equation and see if they give you a true statement.
5(-6)+3(8)=-6
-30+24=-6
-6=-6
That's a true statement so the point is the solution to the first equation.
2(-6)+(8)=-4
-12+8=-4
-4=-4
It is a true statement so the point is a solution for both equations
There are no other solution because lines can only intersect in one or infinite points, but that is only if they are the same lines, which is not true in this circumstance.
A. It is the only solution to the set.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
(0, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
<em>m</em> - slope
<em>b</em> - y-intercept
Step 1: Write standard form
3x - 7y = 42
Step 2: Rewrite in slope-intercept form
- Subtract 3x on both sides: -7y = 42 - 3x
- Divide both sides by -7: y = -6 + 3/7x
- Rewrite: y = 3/7x - 6
Step 3: Find y-intercept
<em>b</em> = -6
