Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope-intercept form of a line is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given the slope $m = 4$ and a point $(-5, -6)$, we can substitute these values into the slope-intercept equation to find $b$: $-6 = 4(-5) + b$. Solving for $b$, we get $b = 14$. Thus, the equation is $y = 4x + 14$.
