Answer:


y=3x-5

Explanation:

We can use slope intercept form
y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We can use the slope formula
(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) to find m

I will use the first 2 points to find slope


(13-7)/(6-4) \\(6)/(2)\\ 3

Now that we know the slope we can fill it into the formula

y=3x+b

Now to find b we fill in any points and I will use the first one (4,7)


7=3(4)+b


7=12+b

Subtract both sides by 12


-5=b

Now we can fill in b to complete equation


y=3x-5

Hope this helps please let me know if you have any further questions
