For this case we have the following system:


y> \frac {1} {3} x + 1\\y> 2x-3

To solve, we first change the inequality for an equality:


y = \frac {1} {3} x + 1\\y = 2x-3

Matching we have:


\frac {1} {3} x + 1 = 2x-3\\\frac {1} {3} x-2x = -3-1\\- \frac {5} {3} x = -4\\\frac {5} {3} x = 4\\5x = 12\\x = \frac {12} {5}

So:


y = 2x-3\\y = 2 (\frac {12} {5}) - 3\\y = \frac {24} {5} -3\\y = \frac {9} {5}

Thus,
(\frac {12} {5}, \frac {9} {5})is the point of intersection of the lines.
