To identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation \(y + 3 = -4x\), we first need to rewrite the equation in the slope-intercept form, which is given by:
\[ y = mx + b \]
where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.
Starting with the given equation:
\[ y + 3 = -4x \]
we can isolate \(y\) by subtracting 3 from both sides:
\[ y = -4x - 3 \]
Now, we can identify the slope and y-intercept:
- The slope \(m\) is \(-4\).
- The y-intercept \(b\) is \(-3\).
Thus, the slope is \(-4\) and the y-intercept is \(-3\).
\[ y = mx + b \]
where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept.
