\huge\boxed{\boxed{Hello!}}

We are given the slope of the line and a point that it passes through.

We can use the Point-Slope Formula:


\huge\boxed{\boxed{y-y1=m(x-x1)}}

Where

y1 stands for y-coordinate of the point

m stands for the slope of the line

x1 stands for the x-coordinate of the point

Plug in the values and solve:

y-(-4)=-3(x-(-1)

y+4=-3(x+1)

y+4=-3x-3

y=-3x-3-4

y=-3x-7


\huge\boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER:{\boxed{\sf{y=-3x-7}}}}}}
