Part 1: Graph each equation in the Cartesian coordinate (x,y) plane. Find if and where the two lines cross (intersect). Find the coordinate pair representing this intersection.

Part 2: (8,-6)

Part 3: The solution represents the intersection of the two lines, that is the point at which the lines cross each other.
