Answer

The coordinates of the point after applying the linear transformation are \(\boxed{(-7, -4)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Substitute the input point (-4, 1) into the transformation equation L(x, y) = (x - 3y, x): L(-4, 1) = (-4 - 3(1), -4)

Step 2 :Evaluate the expression: L(-4, 1) = (-7, -4)

Step 3 :The coordinates of the point after applying the linear transformation are \(\boxed{(-7, -4)}\)
