(x,y)to(9,6)

Explanation:

5x-6y=9to(1)

9-3y=-xto(2)

"rearrange equation "(2)" to give x in terms of y"

"multiply through by "-1

-9+3y=xto(3)

color(blue)"substitute "x=3y-9" into equation "(1)

5(3y-9)-6y=9

rArr15y-45-6y=9

rArr9y-45=9

"add 45 to both sides"

9ycancel(-45)cancel(+45)=9+45

rArr9y=54

"divide both sides by 9"

(cancel(9) y)/cancel(9)=54/9

rArry=6

"substitute this value into equation "(3)

rArrx=-9+(3xx6)=-9+18=9

"point of intersection "=(9,6)
graph{(y-5/6x+3/2)(y-1/3x-3)((x-9)^2+(x-6)^2-0.05)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
