You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of the line passing through each of the given points with the indicated slope. Give your results in slope-intercept form, where possible. 
(1, -4), m = -4  
. 
Plug given info into the the "point-slope" form of: 
y-y1 = m(x-x1) 
y-(-4) = (-4)(x-1) 
y + 4 = (-4)x + 4 
y = -4x (this is what they're looking for) 
or you could include the y-intercept: 
y = -4x + 0
