Answer:

y = 1/6x - 8/3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

Rearrange y + 2 = 1/6 (x - 4) into this form

distribute bracket and simplify.

y + 2 = 1/6x - 2/3

⇒ y = 1/6x - 2/3 - 2

⇒ y = 1/6x - 8/3 ← in slope-intercept form
