Answer:


y=(1)/(8)x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The information we have about the line is:

slope


m=(1)/(8)

Y- intercept is (0,4) here, the y-coordinate 4 is the point where the line crosses the y-axis and is the y-intercept usually represented by the letter b:


b=4

Now, the general equation for a line in the slope-intercept form is:


y=mx+b

We substitute the known values:


y=(1)/(8)x+4

This is the equation for the line in slope -intercept form.
