You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3Y=2X-6, Y=2X/3-6/3, Y=2X/3-2
3X=-2X+15, Y=-2X/3+15/3, Y=-2X/3+5
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+y+=+2x%2F3+-2%2C+y+=+-2x+%2B5%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -6 to 5, of TWO functions y = 2x/3 -2 and y = -2x/3 +5).
I would estimate (2.5,-.5) as the intersection.
