Answer:
y=1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=1/4
so, y=1/4x+b
Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 1/4 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,1).
So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number 1? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.
(4,1). y=mx+b or 1=1/4 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=1-(1/4)(4). b=0.
y=1/4x+0
