Start with the first equation.
Pick a value for x. Let's say 0, then y=3%280%29%2F4-2, y=-2, so (0,-2) is one point on the first line

Repeat the process with a different value. Let's pick 4. then y=3%284%29%2F4-2, y=1, so (4,1) is another point on the first line.

Plot the two points and draw a line all the way across the graph through the two points.

Now, repeat the entire process for the second equation.

The point where the two lines intersect is the solution of the system.
