For a given function, every y-value is 6 less than 4 times the corresponding x-value.

First, we will need to translate the given wording into a mathematical equation and then get the y-intercept from the formula.

We are given that, the y value is 6 less than 4 times the corresponding x.

This means that:

y = 4x - 6

Now, the general formula of any linear equation is:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Comparing the general formula to the equation we have, we will find that:

slope (m) = 4

y-intercept (c) = - 6
