Answer:

C.

Explanation:

recall that the point-slope form of a linear equation is given by

y = mx + c

Rearranging so that it is in the same form as the answer choices, we get

y = c + mx

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

we note the following observations

1) The line goes from top left to bottom right, this means that the slope is negative, hence m has to be negative. (in our case, all the choices have negative x)

2) The line crosses the y-axis at y = 4, this means the y-intercept is 4 and hence c = 4.

If we look at the choices, only choice B satisfies both observations (that m is negative and c = 4)
