\bold{ANSWER:}


\huge\mathrm{y=-2.75x+4}


\bold{SOLUTION:}


\mathbb{GIVEN:}


\bigstar the slope


\bigstar the y-intercept of a line.


\mathbb{WE~HAVE~TO~FIND:}


\bigstar the equation of the line (and write it in Slope-Intercept Form)

What does Slope-Intercept Form look like?


\rm{y=mx+b}

Where


\bold{m~stands~for~slope}


\bold{b~is~the~y-~intercept.}

We know the slope, and we know the y-intercept of a line.

So, we can quickly identify the equation of our line.

Plug in the values:


\rm{y=mx+b}


\rm{y=-2.75m+4

Hope you find it helpful.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
