Answer:

y = 4/3x + 4

Explanation:

y = mx + b is the formula for finding the slope intercept form equation

m = slope

b = y intercept

If you look at points (-3, 0) and (0, 4), you can calculate the slope

You have to go over, from point (-3, 0), 3 times, and up four to get to the point (0, 4)

Slope is change in y over change in x, so, if we look to see where the line crosses the y-axis, or vertical axis, we can see it reach the number four on the y-axis, b = 4

Now, lets create your equation...

y = 4/3x + 4
