Question
**Question:** What is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form?

**Instruction:** Enter your answer in the box.

**Graph Analysis:**
- The graph is a Cartesian coordinate system with both x-axis and y-axis labeled with a range from -20 to 20.
- The line crosses the y-axis at approximately (0, 8).
- The line passes through points that suggest an intercept and slope.

**Slope-Intercept Form Explanation:**
- The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is \( y = mx + b \) where:
  - \( m \) is the slope of the line.
  - \( b \) is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Here, the y-intercept \( b \) appears to be 8. To find the slope \( m \), observe two points on the line, calculate the rise over run, and solve for the equation. Adjust based on the precise visual interpretation of the graph.
