Answer

$\{(0,-4)\}$

Work Step by Step

Graph each line (plot two points per line, such as the intercepts) $y=-2x-4:\quad \left[\begin{array}{lll} x=0 & ... & x=-1\\ y=0-4 & & y=-2(-1)-4\\ y=-4 & & y=-2\\ (0,-4) & & (-1,-2) \end{array}\right]$ $4x-2y=8:\quad \left[\begin{array}{lll} x=0 & ... & y=0\\ -2y=8 & & 4x-0=8\\ y=-4 & & x=2\\ (0,-4) & & (2,0) \end{array}\right]$ There is an intersection point, $(0,-4).$ Solution set = $\{(0,-4)\}$
