Answer

The solution is $(-4,0)$.

Work Step by Step

The given system of linear equation is $x-4y=-4$ ...... (1) $-3x-4y=12$ ...... (2) Graph each equation. The intersection point is $(-4,0)$. Check the intersection point. Equation 1: $\Rightarrow x-4y=-4$ $\Rightarrow -4-4(0)=-4$ $\Rightarrow -4=-4$ True. Equation 2: $\Rightarrow -3x-4y=12$ $\Rightarrow -3(-4)-4(0)=12$ $\Rightarrow 12+0=12$ $\Rightarrow 12=12$ True. The solution is $(-4,0)$.
