Set them equal to each other and solve for x.
%283%2F2%29x=%28-1%2F2%29x%2B4
2x=4
x=2
Then from either equation,
y=%283%2F2%29%282%29=3

What is the solution to the equations represented by these two lines f(x)=(3/2)x and g(x)=(-1/2)x+4
------------
At the intersection, f(x) = g(x)
3x/2 = -x/2 + 4
2x = 4
x = 2
