Given Equations:
[1] -3x + y = 4
[2] -x + y = -2
-3x + y = 4 ..........(1)
-x + y = -2 ..........(2)
On Subtracting Eq(2) from Eq(1), we get:
-2x = 6 ..............(3)
From Eq(3), we get:
x = -3 ...............(4)
On Substituting value of x in Eq(1), we get:
-3*(-3) + y = 4
y = -5 ...............(5)
Summary:
x = -3
y = -5

-3x + y = 4
-x + y = -2 subtract
-------------------------
-2x=6
x=6/-2
x=-3 ans.
-(-3)+y=-2
3+y=-2
y=-2-3
y=-5 ans.

Given Line Eqns.,system%28-3x%2By=4%28red%28EQN1%29%29%2C-x%2By=-2%28red%28EQN2%29%29%29

In red%28EQN1%29, we let Fy=0:
-3x%2B0=4 ---> cross%28-3%29x%2Fcross%28-3%29=4%2F-3
red%28x=-4%2F3%29, X-Intercept

Fx=0:
-3%280%29%2By=4
red%28y=4%29, Y-Intercept
We see it in graph,
---> Line red%28-3x%2By=4%29

In red%28EQN2%29, we let Fy=0:
-x+%2B+0+=+-2
red%28x=2%29, X-Intercept

Let Fx=0:
0%2By=-2
red%28y=-2%29, Y-Intercept
We see it in graph,
---> red%28-3x=y=4%29; green%28-x%2By=-2%29


As you can see , Point of Intersection, (-3,-5) , solution for both eqns.

Thank you,
