Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from the x-intercept (-2, 0) to the y-intercept (0, 4), x increases by 2 (this is the run) and y by 4 (this is the rise). Thus, the slope of this line is
m = rise/run = 4/2 = 2.
Given the y-intercept (0, 4) and the slope (2), the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line is y = 2x + 4.
From this we get the point-slope form:
y = 2x + 4 becomes y - 4 = 2(x - 0), or just y - 4 = 2x.
