​I know that one is (1,4/3) but I thought the other was (2,0) and it is not up their. Help please!

well, your equation has a typo (it has two = signs, and that 84x cannot be right!). Aha -- it appears that you have duplicated the equation

4x-3y = 8

Clearly (1,4/3) does not fit, but
(1,-4/3) does work, since

4(1)-3(-4/3) = 4+4 = 8
4(3/2)-3(-2/3) = 6+2 = 8
4(-4)-3(-8) = -16+24 = 8

Now. was that so hard?

Yes yes it was hard :D
