Well, we know the line is perpendicular to that one above.... what is the slope of that one anyway? well, notice, the equation is already in slope-intercept form 
.
so, we're looking for the equation of a line perpendicular to that one, now, since that one has a slope of 4/3, a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope to that one,
so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is -3/4 and runs through -4,9?

now, the x-intercept for any function is found by zeroing out the "y" and solving for "x", thus
x = 8, y = 0 ( 8 , 0 )
