Explanation:

If you're asking for an equation, the equation would be:
y=-4x-3

(probably what you're looking for) if you're looking for what y equals, the answer is: 9

for equation:

1. write an equation with the information you have


y=-4x+b

2. Plug in the values for x and y


-7=-4(1)+b where b equals -3

so your equation would be
y=-4x-3

for what y equals:

1. since you've figured out the equation, plug in the value for x and solve for y


y=-4(-3)-3 which then gives you
y=9
