I ban you for not solving the equation. Since y is the same in both equations, 2x + 1 = x - 2.

2x + 1 = x - 2. Add two on both sides

2x + 3 = x. Subtract x on both sides

x + 3 = 0. Subtract three on both sides

x = -3.

We have x, so we must find y using it.

y = 2(-3) +1.

y = -6 + 1.

y = -5.

Checking work by using other equation.

y = (-3) -2.

y = -5

so, we can conclude, the intercept is (-3, -5).
