2x-2y=8
ONE EQUATION IS NOT A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS!
NO SOLUTION.

2Y -2x =8
X -y = 4
Y = X - 4
slope =1 Yintercept =-4
From point ( 0. -4) go 1 point up to ( 0,-3 ) one point to the right ( 1, -3)
Connect ( 0, -4 ) to ( 1, -3).
Yanjing's way is correct too, but gives different method of either connect 2 points of a line or one point and slope.

Hi Alexandria,
It is a linear system with 2 variables and its figure is a straight line. So you need to find two points to draw the line, for example, (0,-4) and (4,0). Then draw a straight line through the two points.

Best to find 3 points. Since any 2 points determine a line, use a third point to be sure that you have the correct line!!

There should be one more equation.
Anyways
2y = 2x - 8
y = x - 4
This is a straight line equation with slope = 1 and y intercept = -4
