Answer:

y = -
(1)/(4) x - 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given slope m = -
(1)/(4) and y- intercept c = - 3 , then

y = -
(1)/(4) x - 3 ← equation of line

Answer:


\sf y = -(1)/(4)x - 3

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:


\sf y = mx + b

where
\sf m is the slope and
\sf b is the y-intercept.

For the given line with a slope of
\sf -(1)/(4) and a y-intercept of
\sf -3, the equation in slope intercept form is:


\sf y = -(1)/(4)x - 3
