So for this one you can look at the change in y over the change in x. If you look on the y part, it keeps changing by 2 so that’s the change in y. And then the change in x is 2 as well

Slope is change in y/change in x

So the slope would be 2/2 which is 1

you can use 1 point to plug into y=mx+b where your m is your slope. So you have

y=1x+b

We can use the point (1,-4)

So we have

-4=1(1)+b

So we have

-4=1+b

And b=-5 so your equation is

y=x-5

I hope this helps!!!
