Answer:

C. y = 2x + 8

Explanation:

✔️First, find the slope of the line that goes through points (-2, 4) and (6, 20):

Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (20 - 4) / (6 - (-2))

Slope (m) = 16/8

m = 2

✔️Find the y-intercept (b):

To do this, substitute (x, y) = (6, 20) and m = 2 into y = mx + b

Thus:

20 = 2(6) + b

20 = 12 + b

20 - 12 = b

8 = b

b = 8

✔️Write the equation by substituting m = 2 and b = 8 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = 2x + 8
