You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=-18/19x-416/19
y= -17/19x-414/19
equate the two equations
%28-18%2F19%29x-%28416%2F19%29+=+%28-17%2F19%29x-%28414%2F19%29

%28-18%2F19%29x-%28-17%2F19%29x=%28416%2F19%29-%28414%2F19%29

%28-18%2F19%29x%2B%2817%2F19%29x=%28416%2F19%29-%28414%2F19%29

%28-1%2F19%29x=+2%2F19
-x=2
x=+-2
