Answer:

y=1/4x-1

Explanation:

So lets start off by going over what slope intecerp form is.

Slope intercept form looks like this:

y=mx+b

Lets go over the different values in this formula:

y is always going to just be what mx+b equals, and you can plug in values for x to solve for it.

m is always teh slope. The slope is y/x, basically just the change in y over the change in x.

x is going to be the number you plug in a value for to solve for y.When writing slope intercept form, this will always just be x.

Lastly we have b. This is what y equals when x is 0.

Lets use this to make our slope intercept.

So we have:

y=mx+b

y and x are not going to have a written value, so we only need to determine m and b.

So lets find b.

B will be the slope. When we look at the points on the graph, we see (-4, -2) and (0, -1)

The difference in y is -1.(-2--1=-1). The difference in the x is -4.(-4-0=-4).

So b will be: -1/-4, or just 1/4:

y=1/4x+b

Now lets find b.

Lets specificly lookat what y equals when x is 0 on the graph.

We can see the point is (0, -1)

So the y intercept is -1. This means b is equal to -1:

y=1/4x-1

This is your slope intercept!

Hope this helps! :D

Sorry for bad grammar, I am writting on a strange keyboard.
