Answer:

y=1/3x-4

Explanation:

The equation for slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.

m=slope

b=y-intercept

When you graph with slope intercept form, you start with whatever number that is the y-intercept. For this equation, you started at -4, so -4 is the y-intercept.

The equation now is y=mx-4. Now, find the slope.

The easiest way to figure out slope is to find the next point on the line and see how far it is from the y-intercept. The point closest (going right) is (3,-3). The slope is rise over run, or y/x. The rise, y, from the next point, is 1. The run, x, is 3. So, the slope is 1/3.

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=1/3x-4.

Hope this helps! Have a great day C:
