Explanation:
the general slope intercept formula is
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line.
b is the y-intercept (the point, where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning the y value when x=0).
we get b by using the point coordinates in the equation and solve for b :
-2 = (1/4)×0 + b
b = -2 (as expected)
the full line equation is
y = (1/4)x - 2
