Answer:
y = 3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
= 3
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 4) ⇒ c = - 4
y = 3x - 4 ← equation of line
