Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Explanation:

You can find the slope on the graph by looking at the points. From one point to the next you go Up2Over1.

Up2Over1 is the slope and in actual algebra it is 2/1, which is just 2.



The slope is 2. Fill in 2 in place of m in

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

Next the y-intercept which is the b, can also be seen on the graph. The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. The line crosses the y-axis at 3. Fill in 3 in place of the b.

y = 2x + 3
