The equation you provided is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is generally represented as \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
For the equation \( y = 4x + 2 \):
- The slope \( m \) is 4. This means that for every one unit increase in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 4 units.
- The y-intercept \( b \) is 2. This means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 2).
If you have any specific questions related to this equation, such as finding specific points, graphing it, or solving for \( x \) or \( y \), feel free to ask!
