We are given the following equation of a line:


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

This is an equation of the form:


y=mx+b

Where:


\begin{gathered} m=\text{ slope} \\ b=y-intercept \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope of the given function is:


m=-(1)/(4)

The y-intercept is the point where the function touches the y-axis. Therefore, is the point where "x" is zero, therefore, the ordered pair of the y-intercept is:


(0,3)
