If the line is increasing the slope will be positive If the line is decreasing the slope will be negative

You want your equation in y = mx+b form, b is where the line crosses the `y-axis` and m is your `slope` or rise/run, which is represented by \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \] |dw:1451283133206:dw| so first, lets look at the y - intercept (b), where does the line cross?
so it has to be c or d right since it s increasing?
y=4
|dw:1451283354608:dw|
you may use that to draw @MARC_
what do i do from here
By looking at the graph u will know that the y-intercept is 4
You got the y - intercept (b = 4) now we need the slope you can either look at the graph and get the slope or pick the two points, from the image above you can use those points on the line and apply \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} } \]
m=4?
Yup, exactly! Now put it all together
y=4*-1+4?
using y = mx+b
no y=4x+4
there you go
\[Therefore,the~equation~is~y=4x+4\]
Yes
