Final answer:

The lines y=-2x-21 and y=-2/3x-6 do not intersect and therefore, there is no intercept point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The intercept point of the lines y=-2x-21 and y=-2/3x-6 can be found by setting both equations equal to each other:

-2x-21=-2/3x-6

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

-6x-63=-6x-18

Since -6x is equal on both sides, we can add 6x to both sides to isolate the constant terms:

-63=-18

Since -63 does not equal -18, there is no solution to this equation and therefore, the lines y=-2x-21 and y=-2/3x-6 do not intersect. Therefore, there is no intercept point.
