To find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is its slope and b is its y-intercept), we naturally need the slope and the y-intercept. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so our y-intercept is 4, and the line rises 4 along the y-axis for every 2 it runs along the x-axis, so its slope is 4/2 = 2. With this in mind, we can write the line's equation as

y = 2x + 4
