Answer:

y=3x-8

Explanation:

The slope of this is the rise over the run. Using the points, we can do (10-4)/(6-4) to get the slope. After solving this, we get 3 as the slope! Slope intercept form is in y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, y=3x+b

We can insert any of those coordinates into this equation and solve for b to get the y-intercept. If we insert (4,4), then we get 4=3(4)+b

: 4=12+b

:-8=b

Now that we have -8 as the y-intercept, we can insert that as b to get y=3x-8 as the equation in slope intercept form.
