Think... when an equation is "stretched", what happens?
To stretch a whole function by a factor of 4 vertically, f(x) -> 4*f(x)
To stretch a whole function by a factor of 7 horizontally, f(x) -> f(x/7)
But since this is an relation, lets solve for x instead of y

This is basically the graph of two vertical lines

a vertical line stretched 4 times vertically will still be the same
a vertical line stretched 7 times horizontally will still be the same
The stretched relation will still be the same as the original equation.
