-4x=\frac{1}{3}y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4x=\frac{y}{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{y}{-4\times 3}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{y}{-4\times 3}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=-\frac{y}{12}
Divide \frac{y}{3} by -4.
\frac{1}{3}y=-4x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{1}{3}y}{\frac{1}{3}}=-\frac{4x}{\frac{1}{3}}
Multiply both sides by 3.
y=-\frac{4x}{\frac{1}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{3}.
y=-12x
Divide -4x by \frac{1}{3} by multiplying -4x by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{3}.
