1. Answer:

   y = 1/4x or y = 0.25x

   Step-by-step explanation:

   In this question, we are trying to write an equation with the given points.

   To solve this question, we would use the slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

   Find the slope by plugging in variables:

   2-1/8-4

   1/4 = m

   The slope would be 1/4

   Find the y intercept:

   To find the y-intercept, you would need to use the slope you’ve found and one point, and plug it into the slope-intercept equation:

   1 = 1/4(4) + b

   Solve:

   1 = 1/4(4) + b

   1 = 1 + b

   Subtract 1 from both sides

   0 = b

   This means that the y-intercept is 0.

   Our equation will be: y = 1/4x
