Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the ratio of rise to run. The rise between the two points is 2 units; the run is 8 units, so the slope is ...
m = rise/run = 2/8 = 1/4
The y-intercept (b) is the y-value where the line crosses the y-axis. For this line, that is y = 2, so b = 2.
Putting these values of m and b into the equation y = mx +b gives ...
y = 1/4x +2
