I’m assuming you need to find the equation of the line?

Equation of line is written in the form y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

We know the slope is -4, so we have y=-4x+c.

To find c, we replace the given coordinates in the equation:

4=-4(-5)+c
4=20+c
c=-16

So, the equation of the line is

y = -4x -16
