Answer:

6=-3/4x+(-4)

Explanation:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y= mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis. So for the given information you can see that they gave you your slope of -3/4 so you fill that in under the m. The point that would cross the y axis would be -4 because when you think of it on a graph you would see it as (-4 y) and (6 x). When you are writing linear equations you use the form y=mx+b.

Hope this helps
