1. **State the problem:** We need to solve the system of equations graphically:
$$y = x + 4$$
$$y = -\frac{3}{2}x - 6$$
2. **Recall the method:** The solution to the system is the point(s) where the two lines intersect.
3. **Set the equations equal to find the intersection:**
$$x + 4 = -\frac{3}{2}x - 6$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
Add $\frac{3}{2}x$ to both sides:
$$x + \frac{3}{2}x + 4 = -6$$
Combine like terms:
$$\left(1 + \frac{3}{2}\right)x + 4 = -6$$
$$\frac{2}{2}x + \frac{3}{2}x + 4 = -6$$
$$\frac{5}{2}x + 4 = -6$$
Subtract 4 from both sides:
$$\frac{5}{2}x + \cancel{4} - 4 = -6 - 4$$
$$\frac{5}{2}x = -10$$
Divide both sides by $\frac{5}{2}$:
$$x = \frac{-10}{\cancel{\frac{5}{2}}} \times \cancel{\frac{2}{5}} = -10 \times \frac{2}{5} = -4$$
5. **Find $y$ by substituting $x = -4$ into one of the original equations:**
Using $y = x + 4$:
$$y = -4 + 4 = 0$$
6. **Conclusion:** The lines intersect at the point $$\boxed{(-4, 0)}$$.
This is the graphical solution to the system.
