Answer:

y=2x+8

Explanation:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form

y - y-coordinate

m - slope

x - x-coordinate

b - y-intercept

If the slope is 2, then m will be replaced by 2. The y-intercept is the pair of points in which the x-coordinate is 0. There is probably a quicker way to solve this, but this is how I ended up finding what y-coordinate corresponds with the x-value of 0.

(6,20)

(5,18)

(4,16)

(3,14)

(2,12)

(1,10)

(0,8)

Since the y-intercept is (0,8), b will be 8.
