<span>y=-4/x+1 is ambiguous, since it's not immediately clear whether you meant
-4
y = -4/x + 1 or y = ---------
x+1
I'm going to assume that the latter is what you meant.
1. Interchange x and y, obtaining:
-4
x = --------
y+1
2. Solve this for y, obtaining y+1 = -4/x, or xy + x = -4, or
-x - 4
xy = -x-4, or y = ---------
x
-1 -1 4
3. Replace y with f (x): f (x) = -1 - -----
x
This last result has the correct form.</span>
Your answer would be A. y = -3 + 4
the line intercepts the y axis at +4
and the line decreases 3 units down and one unit to the right which makes the slope ( rise over run) -3/1 but you would just say -3
