We are given the equation

y = -3/7x - 6

This equation is in slope - intercept form of equation

To change the equation to standard form

Firstly, we need to move x to the other sides

Then, we have

y + 3/7x = -6

Since, we are using interger coefficient, then we need to multiply the equation by 7 inorder to eliminate the fraction

y x 7 + 3/7x * 7 = -6 x 7

7y + 3x = -42

The standard form of the equation is

7y + 3x = -42
