Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.

Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.

Now divide the -12 from both sides.

-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with

Now re-enter the info back into the formula.

Then you've got your formula
Answer: x = -1 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you know y = x-1 you can plug that in where y is in the first equation
-4x + 3(x-1) = -2
Distribute the 3:
-4x +3x -3 = -2
Combine like terms:
-x -3 = -2
Add 3 to both sides:
-x = 1
Multiply by -1:
X = -1
Then you plug that into the other equation to get y=(-1)-1
Which is -2
