Given (0, -4), 4x - y = 7. I converted the equation into slope intercept form and I got: y = 4x - 7. Once I had gotten that I put (0, -4) and the equation into Point-Slope Form and solved it: y - (-4) = 4(x + 0), y + 4 = 4x, y = 4x - 4 is the slope intercept form of your equation and point :)
Well the way I see it is he started with 4 villager so I would see the equation to be
1.13x times 17+4 would equal the amount of villagers he could have which would be 23.21 as for the equation it would be 1.13x times 17 plus four equals the number of villagers total
