from x = 3d-10 ---> d = (x+10)/3
from y = 2d+1 ---> d = (y-1)/2
then (x+10)/3 = (y-1)/2
2x + 20 = 3y - 3
2x - 3y = -23
for y-intercept, x = 0
-3y = -23
y = 23/3 = a/b
or
in x=3d-10 , let x = 0
3d = 10
d = 10/3
sub into y = 2d+1
= 2(10/3)+1 = 23/3 = a/b
from y = 2d+1 ---> d = (y-1)/2

2x + 20 = 3y - 3
