The slope of line
m is
(-3-1)/(2-6)=1, so its equation is


y-1=x-6\implies y=x-5

The slope of line
n is
(-6-3)/(5-2)=-3, so its equation is


y-3=-3(x-2)\implies y=-3x+9

The two lines intersect wherever the two equations are the same:


x-5=-3x+9\implies4x=14\implies x=\frac72\implies y=-\frac32

The point of intersection is then
\left(\frac72,-\frac32\right).
