Question

How can I graph these two equations so that I can find out when they intersect?  The question requires I do so but after I enter the equations in my TI-83 Plus calculator and press "graph" , no lines show up. So I cant figure out the answer.

I've been substituting "y" for  "W(t)" & "M(t)" and "x" for "t" . 

W(t)=-0.0172t+43.45

M(t)=-0.0147t+39.83
