Hi,

x = 2     || Note Vertical line at x = 2

y = x - 2

Finding the y-intercept  (highlight%280%29, _)  

y = highlight%280%29 -2 = -2 

      y = -2    || the y-intercept  (highlight%280%29, -2) 



Finding the x-intercept  ( _, highlight%280%29)   

 highlight%280%29 = x - 2

     x = 2    ||   the x-intercept is (2 , highlight%280%29) 

Plot (0,-2) and (2,0) and connect with a Line

Lines Intersect at (2,0), the ordered pair that is the solution for this System of EQs
