Hi there!


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

y = mx + b

To find the equation, we can begin by deriving the slope (m):

slope = y2-y1/x2-x1

Find two points:

(0, -2) and (4, 1)

Plug these into the slope equation:

slope = 1 - (-2) / 4 - 0

slope = 3/4

We know that there is a y-intercept of y = -2 (b value), so:

y = 3/4x - 2
