Answer:

-12 = 3x - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the graph are (-4, 0) and (0, 3).  Moving from the first point to the second, we see x (the 'run') increase by 4 and y (the 'rise') increase by 3.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 3/4.

Using the point slope form, we get:

y - 3 = (3/4)(x - 0), or

4y - 12 = 3x, or

-12 = 3x - 4y (which is in Standard Form).
