Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{1}{4}x + 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form allows one to write an equation for a line from only the y-intercept and the slope, so we need to identify those two things.
The slope is simply [tex]\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]=>[tex]\frac{2-1}{4-0}[/tex]=> 1/4
The slope intercept is the y value when x = 0, and since we have the point (0,1), the y-intercept must be 1
The equation is: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the intercept so the final equation is:
[tex]y = \frac{1}{4}x + 1[/tex]
