Answer:

Final answer is y=3x-2.

Explanation:

We have been given a graph and using that graph we need to find the equation of line.

Equation of line is given by formula y=mx+b

Where b is the y-intercept.

We see that graph crosses y-axis at (0,-2) so that means b=-2

Now plug b=-2 into formula y=mx+b. We get:

y=mx-2 ...(i)

Now find any point from the graph say (1,1) and plug into (i) to find value of slope m

1=m*1-2

1=m-2

1+2=m

3=m

Now plug m=3 into (i). We get:

y=3x-2

Hence final answer is y=3x-2.
