Answer:

y = 3/4x + 10

Explanation:

The equation of a line is y = slope * x + y-intercept

To find the slope, you choose two points and do (y1-y2)/(x1-x2): Point 1 can be (4,13) and point 2 can be (8,16) so, slope = (13-16)/(4-8) = -3/-4 = 3/4

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0, so it would be 10.

Put it together and you get y = 3/4x + 10
