Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 2

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b, where y and x are variables, m is the slope of the line, that is the ratio of the change in vertical distance to horizontal distance while b is the y intercept of the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the y intercept (where the graph touches the y axis) is 2. Hence b = 2

Also, the slope (m) = change in y / change in x = 1 / 3

The equation of the line is:

y = (1/3)x + 2
