We have the vertex (-4, -1), therefore we have:

This is correct trust me I know it’s the answer
Slope = (-12 - 43)/(4 +7) = -55/11 = -5
y = mx + b
43 = -5(-7) + b
43=35+b
b = 8
equation
y = -5x + 8
First off, I would like to say that you aren't d**b! Always remember that asking for help is never d**b!
To change a fraction to a decimal, put the decimal over its place value. For example, if you had the decimal 0.7, you would put 7 over 10 to create the fraction
.
Lastly, always remember to simplify your answer!
Hope this helps! Have a great day! (:
