Answer:

y = -4x - 3

Explanation:

The b in the slope-intercept equation represents the y-intercept.

The line crosses the y-axis at (0,-3). Therefore, b = -3.

Since the line is decreasing from left to right, the slope will be negative.

From (0,-3) to the next point on the line is down 4 units and to the right 1 unit.

The slope will be -4/1 or -4.

Therefore, the equation of the line will be y = -4x - 3.

Hope that helps.
