Answer: \((x, y) = (-2, -1)\)

Write \(3x - 2y + 4 = 0\) as \(3x - 2y = -4\).

Ordered pairs for \(x - 3y = 1\):

\(x\)\(1\)\(4\)\(-2\)
\(y\)\(0\)\(1\)\(-1\)
\((x, y)\)\((1, 0)\)\((4, 1)\)\((-2, -1)\)

Ordered pairs for \(3x - 2y = -4\):

\(x\)\(0\)\(2\)\(-2\)
\(y\)\(2\)\(5\)\(-1\)
\((x, y)\)\((0, 2)\)\((2, 5)\)\((-2, -1)\)

Plot both sets of points on the same graph paper (scale: 1 cm = 1 unit on both axes) and join each set to get two straight lines. The lines intersect at \((-2, -1)\).

Check: \(1(-2) + (-3)(-1) = 1\) and \(3(-2) + (-2)(-1) = -4\) – both true.
