I think you can use <4,-8> as a vector... then x=-2+4t and y = 11-8t

anonymous · Answer

do you have the answer and need to understand better?  It always helps to graph on paper...

amistre64 · Answer

just swap coeffs and switch the operator

..and readjust for a new constant

4x - 8y = 1

8x + 4y = C
-2    11

-16 + 44 =28 

8x + 4y = 28
