Answer:

y = 0.25x

Explanation:

remember the formula for the slope


(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1) )

so substitute in two pairs to find the slope

for this problem, let's use the first two give

( -4, -1 )

( 0, 0 )


x_(1) = -4


y_(1) = -1


x_(2) = 0


y_(2) = 0

so now substitute

( 0 - - 1) / ( 0 - - 4)

= 1/4

now the equation of a line is

y = mx + b

where (m) is the slope, and (b) is the y-intercept, but since this line passes through the origin (0, 0) there will be no y-intercept so the equation of the line is

y = 1/4 x

or

y = 0.25x
