Answer:


\boxed {\sf m= -3}}


\boxed {\sf b= 4}

Explanation:

The equation of the line is in slope intercept form or:


y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Essentially:

  • The coefficient to x, or number being multiplied is the slope
  • The number added or subtracted from the x term is the y-intercept

The line given is:


y= -3x+4

-3 is the coefficient of x and 4 is being added to -3x.

The slope (m) is -3 and the y-intercept (b) is 4.
