y=5x+15

To make an equation for this line, you need to figure out the values for the slope and the y-intercept and plug them into the formula y=mx+b

The line is going up 5 over 1 which means the slope(m) is 5

The line passes through the y intercept at 15 which means that the y-intercept(b) is 15
