In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The line has a slope of -4, so we substitute m=-4.
y=-4x+b
Since the x-coordinate of the given point equals 0, its y-coordinate 0 is the y-intercept b of the equation. Now that we have both slope and y-intercept, we can write the final equation.
