line equation: y = mx + b (where b is the y-intercept)

you know the slope (7/8) and you know a point (x,y) = (1,4)

take the line equation: y = (7/8)x + b, plug in the point (1,4) and solve for b.

4 = (7/8) * 1 + b

4 - (7/8) = b

b = 3 1/8 = 25/8

Therefore, the line equation is y = (7/8)x + 25/8
