-1 - (-3) = -1 + 3 = 2.....2 is greater then -1

Answer:

see attached for a graph
solution: (x, y) = (-1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first line has a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 0. It will go through the origin and the point (-1, 3).

The second line has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 4. It will go through the points (0, 4) and (-4, 0).

The solution to the system of equations is the point where the lines cross, (-1, 3).
