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)
