Answer 1

y = (3/2)x + 3

Explanation:

The general equation is

y = mx + b

Finding m

The equation for the slope is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Givens

y2 = 3

y1 = 0

x2 = 0

x1 = - 2

m = (3 - 0)/(0 - -2)

m = 3 / 2

m = 3/2

Finding b

b is the y intercept which is (0,3)

x = 0

y = 3

3 = 0*3 + b

b = 3

So the equation is

y = (3/2) x + 3
