The equation you are given is:
.

.
The general form of this equation is:
.

.
This is called the slope-intercept form. The value of m, the multiplier of the x term, is the slope of the graph, and the value of b is the value on the y-axis where the graph crosses the y-axis.
.
So looking at the given equation, by inspection you can tell that the slope of the graph is +4 because that is the multiplier of the x term. (And also by inspection you can tell that the graph crosses the y-axis at the y value -5.)
.
Hope this helps you to recognize and use the slope-intercept form of equations.
