Answer:

Explanation:

You have more than 1/2 the solution just by knowing the slope.

General equation

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

m = 3/4

Solution

y = 3/4 x + b Now you need the point to solve for b

x = 2

y = 2 Substitute these values into the line

2 = 3/4 * 2 + b Simplify the right

2 = 1 1/2 + b

2 = 3/2 + b Subtract 3/2 from both sides

2 - 3/2 = b Combine

1/2 = b

So the y intercept is 1/2

Answer

y = 3/4 x + 1/2

or

y = 0.75 x + 0.5
