Answer: \((x, y) = (-1, -5)\)

Ordered pairs for \(3x - y = 2\):

\(x\)\(0\)\(1\)\(-1\)
\(y\)\(-2\)\(1\)\(-5\)
\((x, y)\)\((0, -2)\)\((1, 1)\)\((-1, -5)\)

Ordered pairs for \(2x - y = 3\):

\(x\)\(0\)\(1\)\(-1\)
\(y\)\(-3\)\(-1\)\(-5\)
\((x, y)\)\((0, -3)\)\((1, -1)\)\((-1, -5)\)

Plot both sets of points on the same graph paper (scale: 1 cm = 1 unit on both axes) and join each set to get two straight lines. The lines intersect at \((-1, -5)\).

Check: \(3(-1) + (-1)(-5) = 2\) and \(2(-1) + (-1)(-5) = 3\) – both true.
