Answer:

Explanation:

if a straight line with a slop
m pass through point
P(x_o, y_o) it's equation is:


y-y_o=m(x-x_o)\\\\y-(3)=-4(x-(-1))


y=-4x-4+3\\\\y=-4x-1

Write the equation in slope intercept form given the point and the slope m=-4 &amp-example-1

The equation of the line is:
y = -4x -1


Work:
y = mx + b
y = -4x + b
3 = -4(-1) + b
3 = 4 + b
-1 = b
