Answer:

y-intercept: (0, 5); slope: 1/4

Explanation:

The slope (m) is found from ...

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Using the first two points in the table, this is ...

m = (8 -6)/(12 -4) = 2/8 = 1/4 . . . . . eliminates choices A and C

__

Then, the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as ...

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y -6 = (1/4)(x -4) . . . fill in known values

y = 1/4x -1 +6 . . . . . add 6

y = 1/4x +5

Then the value of y when x=0 is ...

y = 0 +5 = 5

So, the y-intercept is (0, 5) and the slope is 1/4, matching the last choice.
