Answer:

y=-3x+4

Explanation:

the equation for a line: y=mx+b

m stands for slope

b stands for the y-intercept

the slope is -3 because

1. the line is negative so it has a negative sign

2. from points (1,1) and (0,4) you go up 3 and over 1

m/slope= rise over run or rise/run

the y-intercept is 4 because

1. when the line reaches 0 on the x-axis that's where you find the intercept

2. you can use the graph and go to y-axis line and see that is goes through the point (0,4)

Hope this helps :D
