solve the system by graphing.
L1) x+2y=4
L2) x+2y=-2
For L1)
Let x=0 and solve for y(this is the y-intercept)
(0)+2y=4
2y=4
2y/2=4/2
y=2
Plot (0,2)
Let y=0 and solve for x, (this is the x-intercept)
x+2(0)=4
x=4
Plot (4,0)
Connect the dots and you have a line that looks like:

For L2)
Let x=0 and solve for y:
(0)+2y=-2
2y=-2
2y/2=-2/2
y=-1
Plot (0,-1)
Let y=0 and solve for x:
x+2(0)=-2
x=-2
Plot (-2,0)
Connect the dots and you have a second line:

These lines are parallel and never intersect. They have no solution.
Happy Calculating!!!
