Answer: (-4,0)

Explanation:

y = 1/2x +2

x = -4

y = 1/2(-4) + 2 [To find the solution, we use x=-4 to solve for y, so plug in -4 for x]

y = -2 + 2

y = 0

And we use y = 0, to find the x.

0 = 1/2x + 2

-2 = 1/2x [Subtract 2 from both side]

1/2x = -2 [Rewrite it]

x = -2 / (1/2)

x = -4

So we find the solution (-4,0)
