Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/4

(-1,-4)...x = -1 and y = -4

now sub and find b, the y intercept

-4 = 1/4(-1) + b

-4 = -1/4 + b

-4 + 1/4 = b

-16/4 + 1/4 = b

-15/4 = b

so the equation in slope intercept form is : y = 1/4x - 15/4

but we need it in general form : Ax + By + C = 0

y = 1/4x - 15/4.....multiply everything by 4 to get rid of fractions

4y = x - 15......subtract  x and add 15 ...to both sides

4y - x + 15 = 0 <=== general form
