Answer:

y = 4x - 4

Explanation:

to write a linear equation you need to know 2 components: slope and y-intercept

find slope by selecting 2 points, for example, (1,0) and (2,4)

slope ('m') = difference of y-values 4 - 0 = 4

difference of x-values 2 - 1 1

to find y-intercept ('b'), plug values into the slope-intercept form of a line, which is:

y = mx + b

you need a point and the slope of 4/1; can use any point

we'll use (2,4) where x =2 and y=4 and, again, m = 4

4 = 2(4) + b

4 = 8 + b

-4 = b
