You want this in slope-intercept form, which is : y=mx+b 

Where m = slope, and b = y-intercept

To find the slope, pick two points on the line given to us :)

I have decided to pick the points : (0, -4) and (4, -3)

To solve for the slope, we use the slope equation, which is : m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁

** In this case, y₂ = -3 ; y₁ = -4 ; x₂ = 4 ; x₁ = 0 **

Simply plug everything in :)

m = -3 - (-4) / 4 - 0

Simplify.

m = -3 + 4 / 4

Simplify.

m = 1/4

So, our slope is 1/4.

Now we need to find the y-intercept.

** Remember : The y-intercept is the point in which our given line passes (goes) through the y-axis **

So, please go look at our line. As you can see, our y-intercept is -4, as that is the point in which our line passes through the y-axis.

So, the slope is 1/4 & the y-intercept is -4.

Slope-intercept form : y = mx + b

Plug everything in.

y = 1/4x - 4 is your final answer.

~Hope I helped!~

Why do you set the equations equal to each other?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

you set them to equal each other so you are able to get all the variables in the same way since sometimes being on one side of the equal can make it positive but on the other side it would be negative
