Answer:

y=-1/4x-6

Explanation:

The problem wants the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept in this case is -6 (where the line intercepts the y-axis).

We can use points (0,-6) and (4,-7) to calculate the slope. We just divide the difference in y-values by the difference in x-values.

-6-(-7)/0-4=-6+7/-4=1/-4=-1/4

So the equation of the line is y=-1/4x-6
