First find the y-intercept
y=-2 and x=-6

Simplfy that:
you get b=-14/4
Now to write it in Ax+By=C form remember that it should not have any negatives in the Ax value or any fraction in the whole equation:

Remove fraction by mulitplying the whole equation by 4 and simplfy:
4y=-x-14

Hence, your equation is x+4y=-14

(-6,-2) slope= -1/4
plug in the known variables
solve for b

plug b and m back in
multiply all parts by 4 to get rid of the fraction
add 1x to both sides
