Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

y-intercept (0, -4)

Random Point (4, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:
   `m=(1+4)/(4-0)`
2. Add/Subtract:
   `m=(5)/(4)`

Step 3: Write Equation

Substitute

y = 5/4x - 4
