Answer:

-18

Explanation:

Given equation:
$y+4=-4(x+3.5)$

Simplifying:

$y+4=-4x-14$

=>
$y=-4x-14-4$

=>
$y=-4x-18$

This is of the form y=mx+c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.

So, in this case, slope of the line is -4 and the y-intercept is -18.

This can also be verified by setting x=0 in the equation of the line.
