Y intercept at -4 and it will be increasing from left to right because it has a positive slope.
Since we have a negative on the outside of the parenthesis, we can just say that this is -1. So now we have -1(-x + 1). when multiply a negative by a negative it cancels out into a positive. and multiplying a negative with a positive will give you a negative. So now we have x - 1.
