We have the following:

m, is the slope is 1/4 and goes through (-1,8)

Equation in slope-intercepr form is:


y=mx+b

for b:


\begin{gathered} 8=(1)/(4)\cdot-1+b \\ b=(33)/(4) \end{gathered}

therefore:

(a)


y=(1)/(4)x+(33)/(4)

(b)


\begin{gathered} y-(1)/(4)x=(33)/(4) \\ 4y-x=33 \end{gathered}
