we have the system of equations

y=3x+4 ----> equation 1

y=ax+b ----> equation 2

Remember that

The only condition for the system, to have only one solution is that the slopes of both lines are different

so

The values for a are all real numbers except for a=3

The values for b are all real numbers

Therefore

A solution could be

a=2 and b=4

The solution is (0,4)
