Alrighty lets see if I can explain this. The formula is y=mx+b. We already have m, 0.4, which is the slope of the line, and we have b, 4, which is the y-intercept. If you plug in the given value of x, your formula ends up being y=0.4(14)+4 and when we graph that, your end with a straight line across the graph horizontally. If you solve the formula, your answer is y= 9.6 The slope of any horizontal line is 0, as it remains constant.
