Solution

For this case we have the following equation given:

16 +x = -4y

We need to remember that the general equation for a line is given by:

y = mx +b

And if we rewrite the expression given in these terms we got:

4y = -16-x

And if we divide both sides by 4 we got:

y = -4 -1/4 x

Then the final answer would be:

-1/4
