Answer:

y = 1/4 x - 31/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = 1/4

Point A (-1, -8)

y = mx + b

-8 = 1/4 (-1) + b

-8 + 1/4 = b

b = -32/4 + 1/4

b = -31/4

y = mx + b <-- this is a linear equation, continuing line, so there are infinite values for x and y. Therefore we don't have to plug the values of x and y in

y = 1/4 x + - 31/4

y = 1/4 x - 31/4
