1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations:
$$-4x + y = -4$$
$$y = 2x + 2$$
2. **Use substitution method:** Since the second equation is already solved for $y$, substitute $y = 2x + 2$ into the first equation.
3. **Substitute and simplify:**
$$-4x + (2x + 2) = -4$$
Simplify the left side:
$$-4x + 2x + 2 = -4$$
$$-2x + 2 = -4$$
4. **Isolate $x$:**
$$-2x + 2 = -4$$
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$$-2x + \cancel{2} - \cancel{2} = -4 - 2$$
$$-2x = -6$$
Divide both sides by $-2$:
$$\frac{-2x}{\cancel{-2}} = \frac{-6}{\cancel{-2}}$$
$$x = 3$$
5. **Find $y$ by substituting $x=3$ into $y=2x+2$:**
$$y = 2(3) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8$$
6. **Final answer:** The solution to the system is
$$\boxed{(3, 8)}$$
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(3,8)$.
