Answer:

y = -3x + 4

Explanation:

y = mx + b

y = y coordinate

m = slope (rise/run, up/over, change in y/change in x)

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis.

1. Write the equation y = mx + b

2. Substitute the numbers in the proper place. y = 3/1 x + 4

3. Check for the type of slope- (positive or negative) y = -3x + 4

(Downhill slopes are always negative.)
