Question
![**Problem Statement:**
Find the point at which the line \( f(x) = -x - 2 \) intersects the line \( g(x) = 3x + 6 \).
[ \[ \ ( \ \ \ \ , \ \ \ \ ) \] ]
**Explanation:**
The goal is to determine the intersection point of the lines represented by the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \).
1. Set \( f(x) \) equal to \( g(x) \):
\[ -x - 2 = 3x + 6 \]
2. Solve the equation for \( x \).
3. Substitute the value of \( x \) back into either function to find the corresponding \( y \)-coordinate.
4. The point of intersection will be in the form \( (x, y) \).
**Note:** The provided image contains the problem statement along with a space to input the point of intersection, depicted as a pair of parentheses with two empty boxes for the \( x \)- and \( y \)-coordinates.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F73b9ef85-a728-4331-aca6-c91530e30526%2F79ee270e-6b42-449f-8afb-b5b717618ee4%2Fat4p3z.png&w=3840&q=75)
