We are given the following functions:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=(1)/(3)x-1 \\ g(x)=2x+4 \end{gathered}

Two find the point of interception of the two functions we must first equate both functions, like this:


f(x)=g(x)

replacing the values:


(1)/(3)x-1=2x+4

Now we solve for "x" first by subtracting "2x" on both sides.


(1)/(3)x-2x-1=2x-2x+4

Solving the operations:


-(5)/(3)x-1=4

Now we add "1" on both sides:


-(5)/(3)x-1+1=4+1

Solving the operations:


-(5)/(3)x=5

Now we multiply both sides by 3


-5x=15

Now we divide both sides by -5


x=(15)/(-5)=-3

Now we replace the value of "x" in any of the two functions. Replacing in g(x), we get:


g(-3)=2(-3)+4

Solving the operations:


g(-3)=-6+4=-2

Therefore, the function intercept at the point (x,y)=(-3,-2)
