Answer:

B. 2 [0, 2]

Explanation:

Plug the coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula. It does not matter which ordered pair you choose:

20 = 6[3] + b

18

2 = b


y = 6x + 2

__________________________________________________________

14 = 6[2] + b

12

2 = b


y = 6x + 2

** You see? I told you that it did not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will always get the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
