Answer:

y = - 4x - 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 4 and c = - 1, hence

y = - 4x - 1 ← equation of line

The slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

We know:

Slope (m) is -4

y-intercept (b) is -1

All you need to do is plug these numbers into the slope intercept formula given above!

y = -4x - 1

Hope this helped!
