Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as rise/run.

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = 1/2x + 1

Hope this helps! :D
