Answer:
y + (1/4)(x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
One point on the graph is (-4, 0); another is (4, 2).
The change in x from the first point to the second is 8; this is the 'run.'
The change in y is 2 (which is 2 - 0). This is the 'rise.'
Thus, the slope of the line is m = rise / run = 2/8 = 1/4
Let's use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:
y - k = m(x - h). Substituting 0 for k and -4 for h, we get:
y - 0 = (1/4)(x + 4), or
y + (1/4)(x + 4)
