Okay, first, what's the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, now let's find the slope. Take any two points, let's take (0, 4) and (-6, 0): \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) \(m = \dfrac{0-4}{-6-0}\) Simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/6

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that's our slope. Now plug those two values into \(y = mx + b\). 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=4/6x+4 ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

You got it.

cool man thanks
