Solve the system of equations by graphing.
y=(1/4)x-2
Plot two points and draw a line thru them:
If x=0, y = -2; Point (0,-2)
If x = 4, y = -1; Point (4,-1)
----------------------------------
3x-4y=24
y = (3/4)x - 6
Plot two points and draw a line thru them:
If x = 0, y = -6: Point (0,-6)
If x = 4, y = -3; Point (4,-3)
----------------------------------
