An ordered pair $ (a, b) $ is a __________ of an equation in $ x $ and $ y $ if the equation is true when $ a $ is substituted for $ x $, and $ b $ is substituted for $ y $.
Find $x$ and $y$ in terms of $a$ and $b$. $$ \left\{\begin{aligned} a x+b y &=0 \\ x+y &=1 \end{aligned} \quad(a \neq b)\right. $$
