In order to find the solution graphically, you can solve both equations for y:

x + 2y = 2

y = -1/2 x + 1

2x + 4y = 4

y = -1/2 x + 1

The graph of the previous equations are:

As you can notice, the equations correspond to the same line. It means that the two lines have the same points and then, there are infinite solutions to the system.

Solve the system graphically and check the solution. X+2y=2. 2x+4y=4-example-1
