Answer:

y=6x-25

Explanation:

y=mx+b

m=6

y=-1 and x=-4 find b

-1=6(4)+b

-1-24 =b

b=-25

Answer: y= 6x-25

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line has the formula y=mx+b where we need to locate only m and b.And we also know that m is the slope and the slope is already given so we just need to find the y intercept.

To find the y intercept we could use the formula y=mx+b and plot in the y coordinate the x coordinate and the slope.

The x coordinate is 4 and the y coordinate is -1.

so -1 = 6(4) + b Now you could solve for B

-1 = 24 + b subtract -24 from both sides

-25 = b

Now you could write the equation as y= 6x -25

Check:

-1 = 6(4) -25

-1 = 24 - 25

-1= -1
