Answer:

y - k = -4(x - h), where (h,k) is a point on the line

Explanation:

Let's just suppose that this line passes thru (3, 5). Starting with the general point-slope equation, we have y - k = m(x - h). Subbing -4 for m, we get:

y - k = -4(x - h), or

y - 5 = -4(x - 3), which is in point-slope form.

Next time, please ensure that you have shared all info (including graphs).
