Answer:

D) 4/3 x + 4

Explanation:

The y-intercept is at point (0, 4) and the x--intercept is at point (-3, 0).

The equation for every straight line is y = mx + b. y is y, m is the slope, x is x, and b is the y value in the y-intercept

Now we will use the formula for slope, which is rise/run or more understandable , the change in y/change in x.

y2 - y1/x2 -x1

0 - 4/-3 - 0

-4/-3 = 4/3

Remember when I said the y-intercept was (0, 4) and b was the value of the y in the y-intercept? 4 is the value of y in the y-intercept.

The answer is 4/3x + 4.
