Answer:

The equation of a line is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  

Since we have the y-intercept, all we need to do is find the slope. To find the slope, you need 2 coordinates.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis, so it is where x is 0. Since the y intercept is -2, that means the first coordinate is (0, -2)

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x axis, so it is where y is 0. Since the x intercept is 4, that means the second coordinate is (4, 0)

Since we already have the y-intercept, all we do is put the slope in the equation: y = 1/2x - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Picking a month of the year in the day of the week (fundamental counting principle)
inysia [295]
Since you mentioned the fundamental counting principle, I assume you are looking for the total number of possibilities.

If you are picking a month, there are 12 options.
If you are selecting a day of the week, there are 7 options.

If you are doing both, you multiply the two numbers together.
12 x 7 = 84
