slope is(3-2)/(4-0)=1/4
using the point slope, y-2=1/4x, so y=1/4x+2

Slope = 3-2/4-0 = 1/4
(0,2) is the y-intercept
y = 1/4(x) + 2

Equation of a line y = mX+c
m = gradient of slope
c = y-intercep
To find m:
m= (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)
= (3-2) / (4-0)
= 1/4
To find c:
put in all the number you have:
2=(1/4)(0)+c
c = 2
Thus, equation is
y=(1/4)x+2

y2-y1 / x2-x1 = 3-2 / 4-0 = 1/4 m
y-y1 =m (x-x1)
y-2= 1/4 (x-0)
y-2= 1/4x-1/4
+2 +2
y= 1/4x + 1 3/4 <---- This is your equasion. Hope it helped.

1. find slope. using y2-y1/ x2-x1.... this slope is 1/4
2. put it into y=mx=b form using y-y1= m(x-x1) it would be
y-2=1/4(x-0)
3. solve equation.... answer: y= 1/4x+2

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(3-2)/(4-0)=1/4
y=mx+c
2=1/4*0+c
c=2
The equation is:
y=x/4+2
or
4y=x+8
x-4y=-8
