Answer:

y=4x+4

Explanation:

The equation for the slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slipe we can use the equation m=y2-y1/x2-x1, next decide which one you want as x1,y1, and which one as x2,y2 (doesn't really matter which one you choose.) I then plugged in my value and got the equation -8-4/-3-0=m=4. so far we have y=4x+b. b is our y-intercept which they already have us, which is 4 so we just have to plug it in and get our answer y=4x+4.

Hope this helps you
