Answer:

The posted photo says the slope is -(3/4).  I'll use that, instead of -2 as written in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a straight line equation is y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

With a slope of -(3/4), we can write:  y = -(3/4)x + b.

To find b, use the given point (4,-6):

y = -(3/4)x + b

-6 = -(3/4)(4) + b   for (4,-6)

-6 =  -3 + b

b = -3

The line is y = -(3/4)x - 3

The first option.
