Answer:

y = 4x + 11

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, thus

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (- 2, 3) into the partial equation

3 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 8 = 11

y = 4x + 11 ← equation of line
