x = 2 and y = 3

Explanation:

The value of x is given in the second equation, so all you have to do is substitute that value for x in the first equation and then solve for y:
y = 4x - 5
y = 4(2) - 5
y = 8 - 5
y = 3

(x,y)to(2,3)

Explanation:

"we can substitute "x=2" directly into the other equation"
"and solve for y"

x=2rArry=(4xx2)-5=8-5=3

"the point of intersection "=(2,3)
graph{(y-4x+5)(y-1000x+2000)((x-2)^2+(y-3)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
