Problem
On the graph chart, if the lines 
and 
were graphed, at which point would they intersect?
Solution
In slope-intercept form, we have two lines 
and 
Setting them equal to each other, we get
![\[-5x-24=-x-4 \rightarrow \boxed{x=-5}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/6/3/46357bc8924cb5d1cdcfd1f84cc48ff1394d821d.png)
The only point with an 
coordinate of 
is
