Answer:

(-18, 14), (-9, 9), (9, -1), (18, -6)

Explanation:

Since there is a 9 in the denominator of the coefficient of x, we will get integer solutions only if x is a multiple of 9. Suitable values meeting the problem requirements are x ∈ {-18, -9, 9, 18}. Then the corresponding values of y are ...

y = -5/9(-18) +4 = 10 +4 = 14

y = -5/9(-9) +4 = 5 +4 = 9

y = -5/9(9) +4 = -5 +4 = -1

y = -5/9(18) +4 = -10 +4 = -6

The four solutions we have found are ...

(-18, 14), (-9, 9), (9, -1), (18, -6)
