Use the point-slope form of a line, y-y%5Bp%5D=m%28x-x%5Bp%5D%29.
y-1=-3%28x-%28-4%29%29
y-1=-3%28x%2B4%29
y-1=-3x-12
highlight%28y=-3x-11%29

FIND THE EQUATION OF LINE IN STANDARD FORM,GIVEN THAT IT PASSES THROUGH (-4,1) AND SLOPE = -3
--------
Form: y = mx + b
You are given y,x and m; solve for "b":
1 = -3*-4 + b
b = -11
---
Equation:
y = -3x-11
