1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations:
$$-6x + y = -50$$
$$y = -4x$$
2. **Use substitution method:** Since the second equation gives $y$ in terms of $x$, substitute $y = -4x$ into the first equation.
3. **Substitute and simplify:**
$$-6x + (-4x) = -50$$
$$-6x - 4x = -50$$
$$-10x = -50$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{-50}{-10}$$
$$x = 5$$
5. **Find $y$ using $y = -4x$:**
$$y = -4(5)$$
$$y = -20$$
6. **Final solution:** The solution to the system is $x = 5$, $y = -20$.
This means the two lines intersect at the point $(5, -20)$.
