Set of linear equations in two variables

Two linear equations in x and y can be interpreted as two straight lines. The algebraic solution is the intersection point of these two lines.

    g : 3x + 4y = 12
    h : y = 2x - 8
    S = Intersect[g, h]

You can both change the equation (right click, edit) and move or rotate the line with the mouse (Move, 3.2.1; Rotate, 3.2.1)
