Slope intercept form is $y = mx + b$ , so the y has to be isolated.

$y + 1/4 = -3x - 3/4$

$y = -3x - 3/4 - 1/4$

$y = -3x - 4/4$

$y = -3x - 1$

Practice exercises:

Convert to slope intercept form: $y + 3 = -1/2(x - (-4/5))$
Find the slope intercept equation of the line that passes through $(5, -2) and (4,6)$ .

Good luck!
