Question 674481
We need to find the equation of the line in y = mx + b form. We are given y (-2), m(4), and x(4) from the question. We need to find "b." So we must rearrange the equation to find "b."

y - mx = b


Plug in the given variables (y, m, and x)

{{{ -2 - (4 * 4) = b }}}
{{{ -2 - 4^2 = b }}}
{{{ -2 - 16 = b }}}
{{{ -18 = b }}}


Since "b" is "-18," we now have all the information required for the equation...


y = 4x - 18
