The first one: separate y in both of them to set the equations equal.

y=-1-x

y=4/3-x

Then

4/3-x=-1-x

4/3=-1

Since that is not true, there are no solutions to the first system of equations.

The second one:

3x+2=4y

3x/4+1/2=y

20y=10+15x

y=1/2+3x/4

Then

3x/4+1/2=3x/4+1/2

So, since that is true for all x, any (x,y) that matches the first equation matches the second one as well.
