Answer 1

The slope-intercept of a line is expressed as y=mx + b where m is the slope which is equal to change in y over change in x and b is the y-intercept. We can obtain this form from two points by doing as follows:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y + 3 = (1 + 3) / (4-0) (x - 0)
y + 3 = x
y = x -3

where m is 1 and b is -3
