This is an ellipse.
Equation of an ellipse: 
Let's find the center point first. We can do this by finding out the midpoint between the vertices or the foci.
(-9+7)/2=-1
Center: (-1,3)
Now we need to find a and b (length along x and length along y).
We know "a". It is the distance between the center and the right or left bound.
a=7-(-1)=8
To find out "b", first see that...
b^2=a^2-(distance from center to foci)^2
foci distance=3-(-1)=4
b^2=8^2-4^2
b^2=64-16
b^2=48
b=4√3
answer: 
Answer:
(0, 8/3) = y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
I chose to find the y-intercept since it is easy to find with the given information.
The equation for a line is y = mx + b
To find the y-intercept, we must plug in the info we have and solve for b:
4 = -1/3 (-4) + b
4 = -4/3 + b
8/3 = b
To find a point on the line, you also could have added -1 to 4 and 3 to -4 since slope means rise/run or change in y/change in x:
(y - 1) / (x + 3) = (4 - 1) / (-4 + 3) = (3, -1) (flip since it's the y and x coordinate) = (-1, 3)
