I missed the day we learned this, please help

The slope is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 2 points on the line, lets use (0,50) and (30,60)

                                                         x1  y1           x2  y2

Use slope formula:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

60 - 50 / 30 - 0

10 / 30

which can be simplified to:

1/3

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
