Answer:

2

Explanation:

You'll need to find the reciprocal of m. -1/4 is your is your m and when you find the reciprocal you flip the number to 4/1 or 4 and change the negative to a positive. Then graph (4,11), you don't need to worry about your y intercept, b, or -1. On your graph go down 4 and over one to the left because it's positive the line should be going like " / " <-- that. Keep going down until your y is three and whatever your x is, is your answer. Ex: (4,11) (3,7) (2,3). Hopefully, you understand :)
