![### Solve the System of Equations by Graphing
Consider the following system of linear equations:
\[
\begin{cases}
y = -2x + 2 \\
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3
\end{cases}
\]
To graphically solve this system, we plot each equation on the coordinate grid.
1. **Graph of \( y = -2x + 2 \):**
- **Y-Intercept:** When \( x = 0 \), \( y = 2 \). So, the point (0, 2) is on the line.
- **Slope:** The slope is -2, which means for every 1 unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) decreases by 2 units.
2. **Graph of \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 \):**
- **Y-Intercept:** When \( x = 0 \), \( y = -3 \). So, the point (0, -3) is on the line.
- **Slope:** The slope is \(\frac{1}{2}\), which means for every 2 units increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 1 unit.
### Graph Interpretation
The provided coordinate grid ranges from -6 to 6 on both the x-axis and y-axis.
- **Steps to Plot \( y = -2x + 2 \):**
- Start at the y-intercept (0, 2).
- Use the slope to find another point. For example, moving one unit to the right (x = 1) gives you \( y = -2(1) + 2 = 0 \). Plot the point (1, 0).
- Connect these points with a straight line.
- **Steps to Plot \( y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3 \):**
- Start at the y-intercept (0, -3).
- Use the slope to find another point. For example, moving two units to the right (x = 2) gives you \( y = \frac{1}{2}(2) - 3 = -2 \). Plot the point (2, -2).
- Connect these points with a straight line.
