Question 81765
The equation of a line can be written in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept of (0,4).  Since you are given the y-intercept, all you need is the slope, which is {{{m=(RISE)/(RUN) }}}.


In this case, {{{m= (4-0)/(0-12) =4/-12=-1/3}}}.


The equation of the line is therefore: {{{y=(-1/3)x+4}}}.
