1. The problem is to analyze and graph the system of linear equations:
$$y=\frac{7}{2}x - 3$$
$$y=-\frac{3}{2}x + 7$$
2. These are two lines in slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
3. To find the point of intersection, set the two equations equal:
$$\frac{7}{2}x - 3 = -\frac{3}{2}x + 7$$
4. Add $\frac{3}{2}x$ to both sides:
$$\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{3}{2}x - 3 = 7$$
5. Combine like terms:
$$\left(\frac{7}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\right)x - 3 = 7$$
$$\frac{10}{2}x - 3 = 7$$
$$5x - 3 = 7$$
6. Add 3 to both sides:
$$5x - \cancel{3} + \cancel{3} = 7 + 3$$
$$5x = 10$$
7. Divide both sides by 5:
$$\frac{\cancel{5}x}{\cancel{5}} = \frac{10}{5}$$
$$x = 2$$
8. Substitute $x=2$ into the first equation to find $y$:
$$y = \frac{7}{2} \times 2 - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4$$
9. The lines intersect at the point $(2,4)$.
10. The graph shows two lines crossing at $(2,4)$ with slopes $\frac{7}{2}$ and $-\frac{3}{2}$ respectively.
Final answer: The lines intersect at the point $\boxed{(2,4)}$.
