first invert fraction of the slope from 4/1 to 1/4 and switch sign. then figure out the y-intercept
the algebraic approach would work like this:
-4x + 10 = 1/4x + b
plug in what you got, here: the intersection information
-4*(4) + 10 = 1/4*(4) + b
-16 + 10 = 1 + b
-6 = 1 + b
-7 = b
m = 3
p = 10
Hence, the answer is 212.
