Solve the Matrix Equation [[x],[4]]=[[-1],[y]]

$[\begin{array}{c} x \\ 4 \end{array}] = [\begin{array}{c} - 1 \\ y \end{array}]$

Step 1

Write as a linear system of equations.

$x = - 1 4 = y$

Step 2

Solve the system of equations.

Rewrite the equation as $y = 4$ .

$y = 4$

$x = - 1$

Solve the system of equations $y = 4 x = - 1$ .

$y = 4 x = - 1$

List all of the solutions.

$y = 4, x = - 1$
