Answer:

y=3/-1x+4

Explanation:

Okay so first thing you need to know is that if there is an ordered pair (x, y) where x is 0, your y-intercept is your y. For example, your problem has (0, 4) your x is 0 and your y is 4. Therefore your y-intercept is 4 which is the b. To find your mx, or slope, you need to do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Your y2 will be your y in your second ordered pair and your y1 will be in your y in the first ordered pair. Same for your x. So, (4-1)/(0-1) which equals 3/-1. 3/-1 is your slope. So, your answer in slop intercept form is: y= 3/-1x+4. You could also try y= -3x+4 if that makes you more comfortable.

I know this is long this is my first time doing this lol.
