Answer:

y = ⅓ x + 2

Explanation:

y = mx + b is the slope-intercept form, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses at the y-axis).

The slope is shown as the "movement along the y-axis/movement along the x-axis"

In this graph, the slope is moving up 1 unit (y-axis) and moving right 3 units (x-axis). So we will replace "m" with the slope "⅓".

y = ⅓x + b

Since the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2), we will replace "b" with the y-intercept "2".

y = ⅓ x + 2

Therefore the graph's equation is y = ⅓ x + 2.

Hope it helps! :D

Y=1/3x + 2 as the y intercept is 2 and slope is 1/3
