1. **State the problem:** We need to graph the system of equations and find the point where the two lines intersect.
2. **Write down the system:**
$$y = 2x - 4$$
$$y = 4x - 6$$
3. **Set the equations equal to find the intersection:**
Since both equal $y$, set:
$$2x - 4 = 4x - 6$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
$$2x - 4 = 4x - 6$$
Subtract $2x$ from both sides:
$$\cancel{2x} - 4 = \cancel{2x} + 2x - 6$$
Simplifies to:
$$-4 = 2x - 6$$
Add 6 to both sides:
$$-4 + 6 = 2x - 6 + 6$$
$$2 = 2x$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$\frac{2}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{2x}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$1 = x$$
5. **Find $y$ by substituting $x=1$ into one of the equations:**
Using $y = 2x - 4$:
$$y = 2(1) - 4 = 2 - 4 = -2$$
6. **Conclusion:**
The point of intersection is at:
$$\boxed{(1, -2)}$$
This means the solution to the system is $x=1$, $y=-2$.
7. **Graphing notes:**
- The first line has slope 2 and y-intercept -4.
- The second line has slope 4 and y-intercept -6.
- They intersect at the point $(1, -2)$.
