We need to find the equation of the line in y = mx + b form. We are given y (-2), m(4), and x(4) from the question. We need to find "b." So we must rearrange the equation to find "b."
y - mx = b
Plug in the given variables (y, m, and x)
Since "b" is "-18," we now have all the information required for the equation...
y = 4x - 18
