Answer:

(-9,-1)

Explanation:

See the attachment. Use a graphing system such as Desmos and find the intersection of the 2 lines.

One may also solve them mathematically to insure the correct solution.

y = (1/3)x + 2

y = (2/3)x + 5

---

Since y = y:

(1/3)x + 2 = (2/3)x + 5

-(1/3)x = 3

x = -9

---

Use this value to find y:

y = (1/3)x + 2

y = (1/3)(-9) + 2

y = -1

=============

(-9,-1)
