To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we first need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).
First, calculate the slope using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substitute the coordinates of the two points into the formula:
m = (8 - 4) / (1 - 0)
m = 4 / 1
m = 4
Now that we have the slope, we can use one of the points and the slope to find the y-intercept (b). We can use the point (0,4) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form equation:
4 = 4(0) + b
4 = b
Now that we have the slope (m = 4) and the y-intercept (b = 4), we can write the equation in slope-intercept form:
y = 4x + 4
