What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (4, 10)?

Oy=-3x - 2
Oy = -3x + 2
Oy = 3x + 2
Oy = 3x - 2
help pls my education depends on it

The answer is y = 3x - 2. To find slope, you subtract y2 - y1 and x2 - x1. In this case, y2 - y1 = 10 - 4 and x2 - x1 = 4 - 2. You would result in 6/2, which can be reduced to 3. Your slope is 3, so the first and second answer automatically are eliminated. Next, you could either draw it out on a coordinate plane or just visualize it. The starting point that goes through each line would be -2, which means D, or y = 3x - 2, is the correct answer.
