Write in slope-intercept first.

Find the y-intercept.

y = -2x + b

3 = -2(4) + b

3 = -8 + b

3 + 8 = -8 + b + 8

11 = b

Now, write in slope-intercept form.

y = -2x + 11

Now, solve for standard form.

y - 11 = -2x + 11 - 11

y - 11 = 2x

y + (-11) - y = -2x - y

-11 = -2x - y

-2x - y = -11 (Answer)

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
