Explanation:
Given;
The line passes through the point J-=(4,1)
intercept is given by
where the line passes through (a,b)
a=4,b=1
Thus,
y=mx+c

Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"here "m=-4#
#rArry=-4x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute "(4,1)" into the partial equation"#
#1=-16+brArrb=1+16=17#
#rArry=-4x+17larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#
