In slope-intercept form, we have these values (y = mx + b):

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form.

-9x + 7y = 28

-9x + 9x + 7y = 28 + 9x

7y = 28 + 9x

7y/7 = 28/7 + 9x/7

y = 4 + 9/7x

y = 9/7x + 4

Therefore, the y-intercept is 4.

Best of Luck!
