Answer: y = (28/4)x + 4

Explanation:

We'll be using 20, 144 (1) and 24, 172 (2) for this

slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

slope = 172 - 144 / 24 - 20

slope = 28/4

y = mx + b

y = (28/4)x + b

We can then reduce 20, 144 by 4, 28

20, 144

16, 116

12, 88

8, 60

4, 32

0, 4

The y-intercept is when x = 0, so its 4.

Plug that into y = mx + b

y = (28/4)x + 4
