To be perpendicular, the left side will be 4x%2By.
The right member in standard form will be found using the given point which the line is supposed to contain:

4x%2By=4%2A%28-4%29%2B4=-16%2B4=-12.

In standard form, the equation wanted is 4x%2By=-12, and because the question asks for the equation in slope-intercept form, JUST SOLVE FOR y.
