Answer:

y = 3x -1

Explanation:

You want the equation of the line through the points (0, -1) and (1, 2), among others.

Y-intercept

The y-value when x=0 is the y-intercept. The table shows you it is -1.

Slope

The slope is the difference in y-values when x-values increase by 1. For the first two points in the table, the y-value shows an increase of ...

2 -(-1) = 3

This means the slope is 3.

Slope-intercept equation

The slope-intercept equation of a line is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . . . where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept

For your line, we have determined m=3, b=-1, so the equation is ...

y = 3x -1
