Method 2: Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically
- Plot both lines on the same axes
- Find intersection point where lines cross
- Read coordinates (x, y) of intersection
- Check solution in both original equations
- Consider special cases: parallel lines (no solution), same line (infinite solutions)
