Answer:

Explanation:

slope intercept form => Y = mx + b

find m... the slope by using any two points on the line

p1 = (0,5) by inspection

p2=(4,6) by inspection

find m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 6 - 5 / 4 - 0

m =1 / 4

then use the slope intercept formula

y = 1/4x + 5 for your answer. we know b = 5 b/c thats where the line crosses the y axis.

y =
(1)/(4)x + 5 is the answer
