Slope $m = - 1$ $m=-1$ and y-intercept $b = 4$ $b=4$

The given equation takes the form

$y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$
where $m =$ $m=$ slope
and $b =$ $b=$ y-intercept

We therefore have from the given equation

$y = - x + 4$ $y=-x+4$

slope $m = - 1$ $m=-1$ and y-intercept $b = 4$ $b=4$

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
