Answer:

Explanation:

Start with the standard form of an equation for a straight line:

y=mx+b,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

We are given the slope (4), so we have:

y = 4x + b

We can calculate b from the given point, (0,4). Just enter the values for x and y and solve for b. But in this case the given point already tells us the value of b since at x = 0, y = 4. So we can enter it directly.

------

For reference, if we went ahead and solved for b, this is what we'd get:

y = 4x + b

4 = 4*(0) + b

b = 4

-----

So the final equation of this line is y = 4x + 4

The graph is attached.
