Answer:

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

y = mx + b format

the y and x will stay the same

when graphed, the points make a line that intersects with the y-axis at 2. This would be the y - intercept or "b" in our equation.

m stands for the slope of the line which is represented by rise/run. Going left to right, the line is going upwards which means that the slope will be positive. the distance between these given points is rise 3 and run 1. 3/1

3/1 is the same thing as 3 so your slope would be 3.

your final equation would be y = 3x + 2

hope this helps :)
