1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations graphically: $$2x = 8y$$.
2. **Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:** To graph the equation, express it as $$y = mx + b$$.
Starting with $$2x = 8y$$,
Divide both sides by 8:
$$\frac{2x}{\cancel{8}} = \frac{8y}{\cancel{8}} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{8}x = y$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$y = \frac{1}{4}x$$
3. **Interpret the equation:** This is a straight line passing through the origin with slope $$\frac{1}{4}$$.
4. **Graph the line:** Plot points such as (0,0), (4,1), (8,2) to draw the line.
5. **Solution:** Since there is only one equation, the solution set is all points on the line $$y = \frac{1}{4}x$$.
This means any pair $$(x, y)$$ satisfying $$y = \frac{1}{4}x$$ is a solution.
