Answer:

y=(4/3)x+2 or y=1.3334x+2

Explanation:

The slope-intercept equation is defined as y-mx+b where m=slope (rise/run) and b=y intercept.

y intercept is at (0,2) thus =2

slope is determined by counting the change in y over the change in x between identified points the line. Thus using two points on the graphed line (0,2) and (6,10) we have 10-2 / 6-0 or 8/6 = 4/3 or 1.3334

putting these answers in to slope-intercept equation, we have y=mx+b

or y=4/3x+2
