How do I Write the equation of the line with the slope of -1 and y-intercept (0,4)
----------------------------
m = slope
b = y-intercept
===================
y = mx + b

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is:
y = mx + b
where:
m = slope
b = y-intercept
For this problem, m = -1 and b = 4, so you can write:
y = -1*x + 4
or simply, you would write:
+highlight%28+y+=+-x+%2B+4+%29+
