1. **State the problem:** Find the point of intersection of the two lines given by the equations:
$$y = x + 7$$
and
$$y = 2x - 15$$
2. **Formula and approach:** To find the intersection, set the two expressions for $y$ equal to each other because at the intersection point both lines share the same $x$ and $y$ values.
$$x + 7 = 2x - 15$$
3. **Solve for $x$:**
Subtract $x$ from both sides:
$$7 = x - 15$$
Add 15 to both sides:
$$7 + 15 = x$$
$$22 = x$$
4. **Find $y$:** Substitute $x = 22$ into one of the original equations, for example $y = x + 7$:
$$y = 22 + 7 = 29$$
5. **Conclusion:** The two lines intersect at the point $(22, 29)$.
This means the lines cross far outside the visible graph area described, which is why no intersection is seen in the graph.
