Answer:

b= -18

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3, y= -6, m=4

y=mx+b

-6 = 4 x 3 + b    Solve for b

-6 = 12 + b

-6-12 = b

b= -18

Answer:

b = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope y-intercept form: y =mx +b

    Slope = m = 4

Plugin the value of slope in the above equation.

    y = 4x + b

Now, the line passes through the point (3 , -6). Substitute x and y coordinates in the above equation.

     -6 = 4*3 + b

     -6 = 12 + b

      b = -6 - 12

      b = -18
