Answer:

(-2, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 4

y = - 2x - 2

Substitute y = x + 4 in the second equation:

x + 4 = -2x - 2

x + 2x = -2 - 4

3x = -6

x = -2.

Now substitute x = -2 in the first equation:

y = -2 + 4 = 2.

Check the results by substituting for x and y in equation 2:

2 = -2*-2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2.  - this checks out.

Answer:

(-2, 2).
