Answer:

y=2x+3

Explanation:

find x

look for points (2,7), (3,9), (0,3)

(x2-x1), (y2-y1)

x - distance from 7 and 9: (9-7=2)

y - distance from 2 and 3: (3-2=1)

Rise(y) over run (x) = 2/1=2

so X=2

y=2x

Because we see the line passes the point (0,3) we know the b in y=mx+b = 3

To prove:

try a point

(2,7)

y=mx+b (plug-in)

7=2(x)+3 (isolate x, subtract 3 to 7)

4= 2x (isolate x, divide by 2)

x=2

2=2 ( compare x to original coordinate: (2,7))
