1. The problem asks to find the values of $m$ (slope) and $c$ (y-intercept) for the line $T$ given by the equation $y = mx + c$.
2. The slope $m$ of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$$
3. From the graph, the line passes through points $(0, -4)$ and $(1, 1)$.
4. Calculate the slope:
$$m = \frac{1 - (-4)}{1 - 0} = \frac{1 + 4}{1} = \frac{5}{1} = 5$$
5. The y-intercept $c$ is the value of $y$ when $x=0$. From the point $(0, -4)$, we see:
$$c = -4$$
6. Therefore, the equation of the line $T$ is:
$$y = 5x - 4$$
