The line equation in slope-intercept form is , where m is the slope and
b is the y-intercept.
\The x-intercept is –4. The graph crosses the x-axis at (–4, 0)
\The y-intercept is 4. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 4)
\Find the slope using slope formulae .
(Replace
with –4, 0, 0 and 4)
(Subtract:
)
(Subtract:
)
(Divide:
)
The slope of
Next find the y-intercept value.
\ (Substitute –1 for m)
(Substitute 0, 4 for x and y)
(Apply zero product property:
)
Substitute –1 for m and 4 for b in the Slope-intercept form equation.
