1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations:
$$4x + 3y = 15$$
$$6x - 2y = -10$$
2. **Formula and rules:** We can solve this system using the elimination or substitution method. Here, we'll use elimination to eliminate one variable.
3. **Multiply equations to align coefficients:**
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by 3 to align the coefficients of $y$:
$$2(4x + 3y) = 2(15) \Rightarrow 8x + 6y = 30$$
$$3(6x - 2y) = 3(-10) \Rightarrow 18x - 6y = -30$$
4. **Add the two equations to eliminate $y$:**
$$8x + 6y + 18x - 6y = 30 + (-30)$$
$$ (8x + 18x) + (6y - 6y) = 0$$
$$26x + \cancel{0} = 0$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
$$26x = 0$$
$$x = \frac{0}{26} = 0$$
6. **Substitute $x=0$ into one original equation to find $y$:**
Using the first equation:
$$4(0) + 3y = 15$$
$$0 + 3y = 15$$
$$3y = 15$$
$$y = \frac{15}{3} = 5$$
7. **Final solution:**
$$\boxed{(x, y) = (0, 5)}$$
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(0,5)$.
