Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value).... by inspection b = -4
m is the slope of the line, Slope = m = 1/4 note: the slope is positive
the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'
if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative
the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'
the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'
the rise = 1 Y unit
the run = 4 X units
y = mx + b m =1/4 b = -4
y = (1/4)x + (-4)
y = (1/4)x - 4
graph a line stating at y = -4 and going up (rising) to the right ONE Y Unit for every FOUR X units (the run)
