Answer:
y = x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-4, 1) and (0, 5)
To find slope, it's [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
So 5 - 1 / 0 - (-4) -> 4/4 = 1
1 is the slope, so y = x + b.
To find b, plug one of the points into the formula. I'll use (0, 5).
(5) = 1 (0) + b
b = 5
So the equation in slope-intercept form is y = x + 5.
