Answer:


y = 0.25x + 4


(x,y) = (2,4.5)

Explanation:

Given


x = 2


y = 4.5

Required

Make up a linear function

A linear function is represented as:


y = mx + b

Assume
b = 4

The equation becomes


y = mx + 4

Substitute
x = 2 and
y = 4.5 to solve for m


4.5 = m*2 + 4


4.5 = 2m + 4\\

Solve for m


2m = 4.5 - 4


2m = 0.5


m = 0.5/2


m = 0.25

So, we have:


m = 0.25,
b = 4,
x = 2 and
y = 4.5


y = mx + b becomes


y = 0.25x + 4


(x,y) = (2,4.5)
