Question 869527: write an equation in Slope-intercept form for the line passing through the given points.
(-5,2) (0,4)

First find the slope using the
formula
= =
Use y = mx + b as a template and solve
for b using the point (0,4)
So the slope m = 2/5 , x = 0 , y = 4
4 = (2/5)(0) + b
4 = b
So our equation is y = (2/5)x + 4
