(-4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:
9x\text{ + 4y = -}36

To determine possible values of x and y , we would find the y and x intercept:

y-intercept: The value of y when x = 0


\begin{gathered} 9(0)\text{ + 4y = -36} \\ 0\text{ + 4y = -36} \\ 4y\text{ = -36} \\ y\text{ = }(-36)/(4) \\ y\text{ = -9} \end{gathered}

x-intercept: The value of x when y = 0


\begin{gathered} 9x\text{ + 4(0) = -36} \\ 9x\text{ = -36} \\ \text{x = }(-36)/(9) \\ x\text{ = -4} \end{gathered}

The possible x and y values can be (0, -9) or (-4, 0)
