Answer:
y=(-4)/(7)x+11

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of line with slope 'm' is given by :-


y=mx+c , where c is the y-intercept.

The equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and having slope 'm' is


(y-b)=m (x-a)

The given point point : (4,3)

Slope :
(-4)/(7)


(y-3)=(-4)/(7)(x-14)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-3=(-4)/(7)x+(4)/(7)*14\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-3=(-4)/(7)x+8\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=(-4)/(7)x+8+3\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=(-4)/(7)x+11

, which is in intercept form.

Thus , the equation of the line in slope-intercept form :
y=(-4)/(7)x+11
