Answer:

y = 4x + 21

Explanation:

point (-6, -3) and slope = 4

equation format: y = mx + b

where m equals slope and b equal y-intercept

so far we know: y = 4x + b

Now substitute in your given points (-6 , -3) so x = -6 and y = -3

-3 = 4(-6) + b

-3 = -24 + b

add 24 to both sides:

-3 + 24 = -24 + b + 24

21 = b

so:

y = 4x + 21
