The first bee’s path to the hive follows the line: y = 4/5 x.

The second bee’s path follows the line: y = -2x + 3.

well (4/5) x = -2 x + 3

4 x = -10 x + 15

14 x = 15

x = 15/14

then y = (4/5)(15/14) = 12/14 = 6/7
(15/14 , 6/7 )

I wish both of you use distinct pen names to avoid confusion.

Yes, it would be excellent if the answerer "Anonymous" (the one who gave all those numbers) would choose a distinct screen name to identify him/herself so there's no confusion with the others who go by Anonymous.
