Your equations are given in slope-intercept form and you see the slopes are unequal, so the lines will intersect, somewhere. You also see that the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other so the intersection will be at a right or 90 degree angle.

Identify the y-intercept of each line and apply the slope to draw each line. That's it.

The intersection point appears to be (4, 2). You can also check this through substitution into each equation and use arithmetic.
