We know that the plus at the end is the intersection when X= 0 since y = 5/8(0) -1/2 is just y=-1/2 from there we have three remaining. We then know slope is rise/run the graph is up 5 and then over 8. These values are both positive sine up and right are positive and down and left are negative. We then know that’s our slope +5/8 then we plug it in leaving us Y= +5/8X -1/2 or a
