Can someone help me answer this question please

phi · Answer

change it to "slope-intercept" form by adding -4x to both sides:
4x-4x +y = -4x + -3
the 4x-4x on the left side is 0, so you get
y= -4x -3

the slope is -4.  any idea which way a line goes with negative slope?

anonymous · Answer

Would it be a falling slope? I just made what I think is the graph for that problem and i didnt get a horizontal or vertical line, i got a falling line, i think.

phi · Answer

yes.  negative slope means the line goes down to the right.
slope = 0 would be horizontal
*no slope*  e.g. x= 4  (which looks different for y= mx +b) is vertical
