This equation is written in slope-intercept form just backwards. We can rewrite this equation as:

y = -1/4x - 3

Using what we know about this type of equation (y = mx + b) we know that:

m = slope

b = y-intercept

In this equation the slope and y-intercept are given.

The slope is -1/4 and the y-intercept is -3.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
