Answer: y= 1.5 x+2 or y=3/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:Slope (m) =

ΔY

ΔX

=

3

2

= 1.5

θ =

arctan( ΔY )

ΔX

= 56.30993247402°

ΔX = 4 – 2 = 2

ΔY = 8 – 5 = 3

Distance (d) = √ΔX2 + ΔY2 = √13 = 3.605551275464

y = 1.5x + 2

or

y =

3 x

2

+ 2

When x=0, y = 2

When y=0, x = -1.3333333333333
