Answer:

The answer is

$\huge y = 4x - 2$

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

From the question the point is (-1,-6) and slope 4

The equation of the line is

$y + 6 = 4(x + 1) \\ y + 6 = 4x + 4 \\ y = 4x + 4 - 6$

We have the final answer as

y = 4x - 2

Hope this helps you
