I think its B. Because if you replace y with 0 then x=-2/3.

\(y = 3x + 2\) ------- (\(i\))

\(y =\) \(-\) \(4\) \(–\) \(6x\) ------ (\(ii\))

Equating equations (\(i\)) and (\(ii\)) we get;

\(3x + 2 =\) \(-\) \(4\) \(-\) \(6x\)

\(3x + 6x =\) \(-\) \(4\) \(-\) \(2 => 9x =\) \(-\) \(6\)

\(x = \frac{- 6}{9} = \frac{- 2}{3}\)

Substituting value of \(x\) in equation (\(i\)) we get;

\(y = 3 (\frac{- 2}{3}) + 2 =\) \(-\) \(2 + 2\)

\(y = 0\)
