Formula for slope gives the point-slope equation format.

Any unknown point (x,y) and known point (0,-4) will have slope, if as 1,
1=%28y-%28-4%29%29%2F%28x-0%29
and should be very simple from that.

Notice that the data given for the line will easily let you fill-in the slope intercept form equation, which is same as general form equation, for a line. You are GIVEN the SLOPE and vertical axis INTERCEPT.
y=mx%2Bb
y=1%2Ax%2B%28-4%29
y=x-4

Determine the graph of the line with the given y-intercept and slope
(0,-4) , m=1
Just substitute the slope and y-coordinate of the y-intercept, and you have: highlight_green%28y+=+x+-+4%29, the equation of your graph.
