1. **State the problem:** Find the intersection point of the lines given by the equations $y=4x$ and $y=1.5x+12.5$.
2. **Set the equations equal:** At the intersection, the $y$ values are the same, so set $4x = 1.5x + 12.5$.
3. **Solve for $x$:**
$$4x = 1.5x + 12.5$$
Subtract $1.5x$ from both sides:
$$4x - 1.5x = 12.5$$
$$\cancel{4x} - \cancel{1.5x} = 12.5$$
$$2.5x = 12.5$$
4. **Divide both sides by 2.5:**
$$x = \frac{12.5}{2.5}$$
$$x = 5$$
5. **Find $y$ by substituting $x=5$ into one of the original equations:**
Using $y=4x$:
$$y = 4 \times 5 = 20$$
6. **Conclusion:** The lines intersect at the point $(5, 20)$.
