Answer:

A=0.25j+1

Explanation:

Since we are following the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b) all we have to do is plug it in.

Substitute b for 1,

Substitute m for 0.25, and x for j (because the question is asking)

and finally, substitute y for A as following the question

After doing this, we get:

A=0.25j+1
