Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation expressing x or y in terms of the other variable.

2y = 4 - 3x ( divide both sides by 2 )

y =
(4-3x)/(2)

Choose suitable values for x and evaluate for y

x = 2 → y =
(4-6)/(2) =
(-2)/(2) = - 1

Thus (2, - 1 ) ← is a solution

x = - 2 → y =
(4+6)/(2) =
(10)/(2) = 5

Thus (- 2, 5 ) ← is a solution

x = 4 → y =
(4-12)/(2) =
(-8)/(2) = - 4

Thus (4, - 4 ) ← is a solution
