Lets take 2 pair of points from the table:


\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,4) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(2,10) \end{gathered}

The equation of line is y = mx + b

Where

m is slope

b is y-intercept

Let's find the slope (m):


\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(10-4)/(2-0) \\ m=(6)/(2) \\ m=3 \end{gathered}

So, the equation becomes:


y=3x+b

Let's plug in the first point (x, y) = (0,4) to find b:


\begin{gathered} y=3x+b \\ 4=3(0)+b \\ 4=0+b \\ b=4 \end{gathered}

Final Equation of the line:


y=3x+4
