Answer:
They can`t cross because the slopes are the same.
Since the first equation isn`t simplified, I`ll simplify it.
-x + 4y = -8
4y = x - 8
y = x - 2
After both are simplified, both slopes will be positive 1x. That means the lines are parallel and never cross. I`m sorry if this wasn`t much help, but that is the only answer I can think of. If there is not other option than placing a real answer, than I wouldn`t know how to solve this, sorry.
