1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations by graphing:
$$4x - 2y = 8$$
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 2$$
2. **Rewrite the first equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$:**
Start with:
$$4x - 2y = 8$$
Subtract $4x$ from both sides:
$$-2y = -4x + 8$$
Divide both sides by $-2$:
$$y = \frac{\cancel{-4}x}{\cancel{-2}} - \frac{8}{-2} = 2x - 4$$
3. **Now we have two equations in slope-intercept form:**
$$y = 2x - 4$$
$$y = \frac{3}{2}x - 2$$
4. **Find the intersection point by setting the right sides equal:**
$$2x - 4 = \frac{3}{2}x - 2$$
Subtract $\frac{3}{2}x$ from both sides:
$$2x - \frac{3}{2}x - 4 = -2$$
Rewrite $2x$ as $\frac{4}{2}x$:
$$\frac{4}{2}x - \frac{3}{2}x - 4 = -2$$
Simplify:
$$\frac{1}{2}x - 4 = -2$$
Add $4$ to both sides:
$$\frac{1}{2}x = 2$$
Multiply both sides by $2$:
$$x = 4$$
5. **Substitute $x=4$ into one of the equations to find $y$:**
Using $y = 2x - 4$:
$$y = 2(4) - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4$$
6. **Solution:**
The lines intersect at the point $\boxed{(4, 4)}$.
7. **Interpretation:**
This means the solution to the system is $x=4$ and $y=4$.
