You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THE LINE FORMULA IS Y=mX+b WHERE (m)=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
SUBSTITUTING THE X & Y VALUES & THE SLOPE WE SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (b)
-5=4*0+b
-5=b THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT:
Y=4X-5 IS THIS LINE EQUATION:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C++y+=+4x+-5%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10,
y = 4x -5).
