You have two linear equations. A linear equations produces a line.
Usually the easiest way to graph a linear equation is to plot(graph) the intercepts where x=0 and y=0.
so 4x+5y =-2
if x=0
4(0)+5y=-2
5y=-2
y=-2/5=-.4
if y=0 then
4x+5(0)=-2
4x=-2
x=-2/4=-1/2=-.5
4y-x= 11
If x=0 then 4y-0=11
4y=11
y=11/4=2.75
if y=0 then 4(0)-x=11
-x=11
x=-11
BTW they cross (intersect) at x=-3 and y=2
