The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, and where is that?

is it negative?
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, -4.

Now we have the y-intercept.
y = mx + b where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
So far we have:
y = mx - 4
Now we find the slope.
Take any two points, let's take (0, -4) and (1, 0) and plug them into the slope formula.
\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
\(m = \dfrac{0+4}{1-0}\)
Simplify that

4/0?

idk?
OpenStudy (igreen):
4 is correct, but 1 - 0 isn't 0. Check again

Can you subtract 1 - 0? @becker2000
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean 1

Yep, now divide 4 / 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So is it B?
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yup, you got it.
y = 4x - 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Can you help me more?
It helps
