Answer:

To find the coordinates of the point of intersection of the given equations, we need to solve the system of equations simultaneously. We can use the elimination method to do this:

11x - 6y = 2 (multiply both sides by 5)

-8x + 5y = 3 (multiply both sides by 11)

55x - 30y = 10

-88x + 55y = 33

Adding the two equations, we get:

-33x + 25y = 43

Solving for y, we get:

y = (33x + 43)/25

Substituting this expression for y into either of the original equations and simplifying, we get:

x = -1/7

Substituting this value of x into the equation for y, we get:

y = 1/35

Therefore, the coordinates of the point of intersection are (-1/7, 1/35).
