The linear equation in the graph can be written as:

y = 4x - 1

How to determine the equation of the line?

A general linear equation can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Looking at the graph we can see that the y-intercept is at y = -1, so we can write:

y = ax - 1

And the line passes through (2, 7), replacing these values we will get:

7 = 2a - 1

7 + 1 = 2a

8 = 2a

8/2 = a

4 = a

The equation is y = 4x - 1
