Answer:

y - 2 = 6 (x - 1)

Explanation:

Slope intercept form equations look like this:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

***m =
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Using the point (1,2), we know that x1 = 1 and y1 = 2. Let's sub these values into the slope intercept equation:

y - 2 = m (x - 1)

To complete this equation, we need to find slope. Pick out another point on the graph and plug into the slope equation. We can use point (2,8), where (1,2) = Point 1 and (2,8) = Point 2.


(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(8-2)/(2-1) =(6)/(1) =6

Now that we know m = 6, let's plug that back into the original equation to get our final answer:

y - 2 = 6 (x - 1)

I hope this helps!
