Answer:

Slope=1/2, y-intercept=(0,1)

Explanation:

Slope is written in the format of Y/X. If you look at the pattern, you'll notice that every time Y goes up 1, X goes up 2.

So, 1/2.

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis and is therefore when X is equal to 0. Following the pattern, this would be when Y is equal to 1.

(0,1)

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

3-2=1

4-2=2

slope: 1/2

y-int: 1

y=1/2x+1
