Answer:

y = 4/3x + 4

Explanation:

Finding the slope :

  • m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
  • Take the points (0, 4) and (-3, 0)
  • m = 0 - 4 / -3 + 0
  • m = -4/-3
  • m = 4/3

Finding the y-intercept :

  • Point at which line intersects y-axis
  • According to the graph, the point is (0, 4)
  • b = 4

Forming the equation :

  • y = mx + b
  • Substitute the values we found earlier
  • y = 4/3x + 4
