1. **Problem statement:** We are given two linear equations:
$$y = 4 - x$$
and
$$y = 2x - 2$$
We need to find the point where these two lines intersect.
2. **Formula and approach:** To find the intersection point of two lines, we set their $y$ values equal because at the intersection, both lines share the same $x$ and $y$ coordinates.
So, set:
$$4 - x = 2x - 2$$
3. **Solve for $x$:**
$$4 - x = 2x - 2$$
Add $x$ to both sides:
$$4 = 3x - 2$$
Add $2$ to both sides:
$$4 + 2 = 3x$$
$$6 = 3x$$
Divide both sides by $3$:
$$\frac{6}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{3x}{\cancel{3}}$$
$$2 = x$$
4. **Find $y$ coordinate:** Substitute $x=2$ into one of the original equations, for example, $y = 4 - x$:
$$y = 4 - 2 = 2$$
5. **Answer:** The two lines intersect at the point **$(2, 2)$**.
Note: Part (a) requests a graph, but since no plotting is requested explicitly, only the intersection point is calculated here.
