A car and a limo each drive along a straight road between two points. Using the points on a map that the city created, the car will start at (5, 7) and will stop at (–2, –7), while the limo will start at (3, –5) and will stop at (–4, 9). What are the coordinates of the intersection that the car and the limo both drive through?
