1. **State the problem:** We need to solve the system of linear equations graphically:
$$y = x + 1$$
$$4x - 2y = -6$$
2. **Rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form:**
Start with:
$$4x - 2y = -6$$
Subtract $4x$ from both sides:
$$-2y = -4x - 6$$
Divide both sides by $-2$:
$$y = \frac{\cancel{-2}y}{\cancel{-2}} = \frac{-4x - 6}{-2} = \frac{-4x}{-2} + \frac{-6}{-2} = 2x + 3$$
3. **Graph the two lines:**
- The first line is $y = x + 1$, which has slope $1$ and y-intercept $1$.
- The second line is $y = 2x + 3$, which has slope $2$ and y-intercept $3$.
4. **Find the point of intersection (POI) algebraically:**
Set the two expressions for $y$ equal:
$$x + 1 = 2x + 3$$
Subtract $x$ from both sides:
$$1 = x + 3$$
Subtract $3$ from both sides:
$$1 - 3 = x$$
$$x = -2$$
5. **Find $y$ by substituting $x = -2$ into one of the equations:**
Using $y = x + 1$:
$$y = -2 + 1 = -1$$
6. **Final answer:** The point of intersection is at
$$\boxed{(-2, -1)}$$
This is the solution to the system of equations.
