y=1.5x +1.5 and y=-1.5x + 1.5

intersection is (0,1.5)

If one is increasing then other must be decreasing.

Since, they are linear you may assume it to be f(x) = ax+b.

Now, In case of it being increasing, we have x = -1 , f(-1)=-a+b=0 and x = 1, f(1) = a+b = 3.

Now eliminate a,b to get the f(x). Similarly with g(x), the other function, you put x = -1 and g(-1) = 3

Solve to get answer.
