Actually, the third vertex can be in one of two places. If the slope 2 line goes through (0,6) and the slope 
line goes through (0,0) you have one case. If the lines are reversed you have another case.
Case 1: slope 2 line through (0,6). Equation of this line: 
(Slope-intercept form.) Slope line through (0,0). Equation of this line: 
Solve the system of equations:
for the ordered pair )
which is the point of intersection of the two lines.
The other case has the following system of equations:
