The answer is #y=4x-7# .

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is #y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept.

In order to convert #4x-y-7=0# into slope-intercept form, solve for #y#.

#4x-y-7=0#

Subtract #4x# from both sides of the equation.

#-y-7=-4x#

Add #7# to both sides.

#-y=-4x+7#

Multiply both sides by #-1#.

#y=4x-7#
