Given:

Slope of the line = -4

y-intercept = 3

Let's write the correct equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Apply the slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

y = mx + b

Where:

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

To write the equation, substitute -4 for m, and substitute 3 for b.

We have:

y = -4x + 3

Therefore, the correct equation of the line that has a slope of -4 and a y-intercept of 3 is:

y = -4x + 3

ANSWER:

C) y = -4x + 3
