(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{5}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{0}}} \implies \cfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }


\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{4}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+\text{\LARGE 4}~\hfill \stackrel{y-intercept}{(0,\text{\LARGE 4})}
