You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) -x-3y=-4 ------------> LINE EQN 1
it follows: y=mx%2Bb,
-3y=x-4
y=%28-1%2F3%29x%2B%284%2F3%29 ----> slope=-1%2F3; y-intercept=4%2F3
f(y)=0:
x=%28-4%2F3%29%28-3%2F1%29=12%2F3=4
f(x)=0:
y=4%2F3
2) 3x%2By=16 ---------------> LINE EQN 2
y=-3x%2B16 ---> slope=-3; y-intercept =16
f(y)=0:
3x=16 ----> x=16%2F3
f(x)=0:
y=16
See graph:
----> Green Line 3x%2By=16 @ points (16/3,16); Red Line -x-3y=-4 @ points (4,4/3)
