The -intercept is not a number. The -intercept is an ordered pair of the form . I'm reasonably certain that your problem meant to say that -4 is the -coordinate of the -intercept, the -intercept then being

Be that as it may, the slope-intercept form of an equation of a line is:



where is the slope and is the -coordinate of the -intercept. You are given both of these numbers, so just plug them in.
