Substituting x=-9 in the given equation we get:


-4(-9)+y-38=0.

Simplifying the above result, we get:


\begin{gathered} 36+y-38=0, \\ y-2=0. \end{gathered}

Adding 2 to both sides of the equation, we get:


\begin{gathered} y-2+2=0+2, \\ y=2. \end{gathered}

Therefore, the coordinates of the point with x=-9 are:


(-9,2)\text{.}
