Question 791161
graph the line. 4x+3y+9=0

what I have been getting.. but is incorrect...

3y+9=0-4x
3y=0-4x-3y   **** don't subtract 3y from the right side.  Where's the 9?
y=-4 over 3 x
===================
4x+3y+9=0
If you want to solve for y:
3y = -4x - 9
y = (-4/3)x - 3
------------
To graph it, you need 2 points.
Pick 2 values for x and find y.
I would use multiples of 3 for x to avoid fractions.
x = 3 --> y = -7 (3,-7)
x =-3 --> y = 1 (-3,1)
Plot the 2 points, draw a line thru them.
