You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It makes no difference the order as long as you remember that when making an input/output table the x is always listed first and the x is always first in an ordered pair.
you can also change the equation to the "slope/intercept" form.
-4y=3x-4
y=-3/4+1
slope m=-3/4
y int b=1
