Answer:

y = (-1/4)x + (13/4)

Explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

Remember that in a point (-3,4) you have an "x" and "y" value. As such, you have been given values for the "x", "y", and "m" variables. Therefore, you can plug these values into the general structure to find the value of "b".

y = mx + b <---- General structure

y = (-1/4)x + b <---- Plug (-1/4) in "m"

4 = (-1/4)(-3) + b <---- Plug in values from point

4 = (13/4) + b <---- Multiply (-1/4) and -3

(13/4) = b <---- Subtract (13/4) from both sides

Now that you know the value of "m" and "b", you can determine the formula.

y = (-1/4)x + (13/4)
