Explanation:

2x + y = -4

-3y = 2x + 12

convert to regular line equations, when we have only y on one side :

y = -2x - 4

y = -2/3 x - 12/3 = -2/3 x - 4

remember, the general line equation is

y = ax + b

a is the slope (y coordinate change / x coordinate change). and b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

that means, both lines have the same y-intercept : y = -4

and that means only F is the right representation of the 2 lines.
