Answer:

y = 4x + 5

Explanation:

Well starting off, the slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

It gives you the slope and an x and y value, since in (-1,1), the x is -1 and the y is 1.

Plug in those values to solve for b.

1 = 4(-1) + b

1 = -4 + b

Add 4 to both sides...

5=b
