Answer:

y = 4x+2

Explanation:

To find an equation that runs through (-4,1) and (4,3) first find the difference between the two y numbers and x number to find the slope. between the two y numbers you go left or right 8 units, and difference between the two x numbers, which is 2. making the slope 4. looking at a graph and marking the two points, draw a line connecting the two given points, find the y intercept. the y intercept is at coordinates (0, 2) making the y intercept 2. making that into an equation is y = 4x + 2
