Given:

Slope of the line = -4

y-intercept = -1

Write in slope intercept form.

Formula for slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Solution:

Substitute the given values of the slope of the line and the y-intercept to the formula for slope-intercept form.

y =mx + b

y = -4x + (-1)

y = -4x -1

Final answer:

y = -4x -1
