Answer:


y = 0.75x-2

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is:


y=mx+b

where m is the line's slope and b is its y-intercept.

We can identify the following values for m and b:


  • m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (4-1)/(8-4) = (3)/(4)

  • b = -2

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the graphed line is:


\boxed{y = (3)/(4)x - 2}

or


\boxed{y = 0.75x-2}
