Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

gradient is defined as rise over run.

we need coordinates that are both whole numbers. from looking at the graph, I have (0, -1) and (1, 1)

for the run, 1 - 0 = 1

for the rise, 1 - -1 = 2

2 / 1 = 2

it crosses the y-axis at -1

therefore in the form y = mx + b, the equation is y = 2x - 1
