Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, there is no y intercept, as we can see by manipulating the point-slope equation:

y + 4 = -1(x + 4)

y = -x + 0

So, the equation for this line is y = -x.

Y=-1x
or
y=-1x + 0

Considering you already have the slope & a point you end up having

Y = mx + b

-4 which is your Y so

-4=mx + b

M is your slope so

-4=-1(x) + b

Your x is 4 so

-4= -1(4) + b

B is your y intercept but because -4 = -1 times 4 your b is zero

Louise’s answer is not correct. She is missing the term 30x3. When squaring a binomial, it is best to write the product of the binomial times itself. Then you can use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial. Louise also could have used the formula for a perfect square trinomial, which is found by squaring a binomial.
