To find the m(slope) of our graph we can take two points from the graph, im going to use (0,2) and (1,8) the formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
Plug the points in to get 8-2/1-0
The slope of this equation is 6.

For the y-intercept we just find where the line meets the y-axis and that is at 2.

The equation for this graph is y=6x+2
