Answer:

first blank: 2

second blank: 4

Explanation:

first blank, which happens to be the coefficient of the 'x' value, is referred to as the slope of the line

the slope can be found by taking any two points on the line and subtracting their y-values over the difference of their x-values

so we can use the points: (0,4) and (5,14) to find the slope:

slope = (14-4) / (5-0)

slope = 10/5 or 2/1

The second blank indicates the point at which the line crosses the y-axis, called the y-intercept

we can see from the graph that the y-intercept is 4
