Hi,

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

  y=+green%285%2F2%29x-4,  m = green%285%2F2%29, y-intercept is (-4)

Plot Pt(0,-4)  Note: as y increases 5, x increases by 2 , P(2,1) on the Line as well

Plot Points and connect with Line y=+green%285%2F2%29x-4
