Answer:

y=1/2x+1

Explanation:

First use slope formula.


(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the information needed.


(1-3)/(0-4)=(-2)/(-4)=(1)/(2)

The slope is
(1)/(2).

Now, use point-slope formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in the information needed.

y-3=1/2(x-4)

y-3=1/2x-2

y=1/2x+1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=1/2x+1.

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
