Okay cool!

Now for this problem we will substitute the Y and X values for Y and X in each equation all right?

Let's do the first one, remember that X is 1 and Y is 4.

Because as you can see in the parentheses: (), the order is like this: (x,y), so that's why 1 is x and 4 is y, see? (1,4).

All right let's do the first equation now that we understand this concept.

$$1 - 1 = -3( 4 -4)$$

Is this a true statement @lasflores21?
