Start with this:
line n interacts line l at the point (-4, -9) and has a slope 3.

Your description creates difficulty in reading; just use some other symbol than anything that looks like a digit "ONE". Call it line p instead.

Line n...., point (-4,-9) and has slope 3.
Line n is y%2B9=3%28x%2B4%29,
and becomes y=3x%2B12-9
y=3x%2B3------line n.

The description does not determine the equation for line p and does not determine for line m.

.
line l highlight%28cross%28interacts%29%29 intersects line m at the point (6,-3).
line n highlight%28cross%28interacts%29%29 intersects line l at the point (-4, -9) and has a slope 3. what is the equation of line l
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lines do not interact.

They do intersect instead.

Use the words and the terminology correctly !!! Please !
