slope-intercept form is y=mx + b with m being slope and b being y-intercept. slope is change in y over change in x, and in this situation the change in y is 1 and the change in x is 4. so, slope = 1/4. so now our equation is y=1/4x+b. now we have to find the y-intercept, which in this graph is -4. so, the equation is y=1/4x+-4. Hope this helps!
