Step 1 :The system of equations is given as: \[\begin{array}{r} x+y=-12 \\ y=-4 x \end{array}\]
Step 2 :We can substitute \(y = -4x\) from the second equation into the first equation. This gives us a new equation in terms of x only: \(-3x = -12\).
Step 3 :Solving this equation gives us the value of x: \(x = 4\).
Step 4 :Substituting \(x = 4\) back into the second equation \(y = -4x\) gives us the value of y: \(y = -16\).
Step 5 :Thus, the solution to the system of equations is \(\boxed{(4, -16)}\).
