The form of the linear equation is


y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Since the slope of the line is -4, then

m = -4

Since the y-intercept is 3, then

b = 3

Substitute them in the form of the equation above, then


y=-4x+3

The equation of the line is y = -4x + 3

The answer is choice A (1st one)
