See a solution process below:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the information from the problem gives:

$y = color(red)(-4)x + color(blue)(1)$

How do you write the slope-intercept for of the equation which has slope of -4-4 and a yy-intercept of 11?
