Answer:

Explanation:

Point-slope form: y - k = m(x - h) becomes y - 4 = (-1/4)(x + 1).

Rewrite this in slope-intercept form: Multiply all terms by 4 to remove the fraction:

4y - 16 = -(x + 1) => 4y - 16 = -x - 1 => 4y = 16 - x - 1 => 4y = -x + 15

Solving for y, we get the slope-intercept form y = (-1/4)x + 15/4
