Explanation:
To write a linear function to represent the situation in the form of y = mx + b, we need to find,
m = slope of the graph
b = y-intercept or starting value
✔️Finding slope (m) using two points on the line, (0, 2) and (1, 8):
![slope (m) = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) = (8 - 2)/(1 - 0) = (6)/(1) = 6](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/zfq4wu5e49f6x2qmo9mgy344fe3s9kkz0k.png)
y-intercept (b) = 2 (i.e the value of y when x = 0, which is the starting value oflr the point where the line intercepts the y-axis)
Substitute m = 6, and b = 2 in
