Algebra.Com's Answer #2586 by lotanez(23)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope intercept form: y= mx + b\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m= slope \n" ); document.write( "b= the point where the line intercepts with the y-axis (the y value)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The line is going through or \"intercepts\" the y-axis at points (1,4). \n" ); document.write( "The given slope is 1/4.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just fill in what we know into the equation: \n" ); document.write( "m(slope)=1/4 \n" ); document.write( "b(intercept point on the y-axis)=4 :we get this from the given points (1,4)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=1/4x + 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( " Don't get frustrated, the algebra will all come together.
