Both ways would give you the same result, however yours is the most straight forward

Wouldn't the colleague's suggestion only be correct if the original was y=a(x+7)?

Disclaimer: I gave up A level maths to do art instead, and that was almost 25 years ago.

Dividing by a first would actually be sensible if you started with y=a(x+7), yes.

You'll still get the right answer for y=ax+7 though, it's just uglier.
