Answer:
(x, y) = (4, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator makes graphing very easy. The attachment shows the solution to be (x, y) = (4, -4).
__
The equations are in slope-intercept form, so it is convenient to start from the y-intercept and use the slope (rise/run) to find additional points on the line.
The first line can be drawn by staring at (0, -2) and moving down 1 grid unit for each 2 to the right.
The second line can be drawn by starting at (0, 2) and moving down 3 grid units for each 2 to the right.
The point of intersection of the lines, (4, -4), is the solution to the system of equations.
