Answer:

7x +9y = -1

Explanation:

The standard form of the equation for a line is ...

ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and a > 0.

We can get this form by multiplying the equation by 9, adding 7x+27.

y - 3 = -7/9(x +4)

9y -27 = -7x -28 . . . . . multiply by 9, eliminate parentheses

7x +9y = -1 . . . . . . . . . add 7x+27 to both sides

_____

The attached graph shows both equations. They are in different colors and textures so you can see they are the same line.
