Answer:
y=0.5x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for the equation of a line y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is a number.
To find the slope, take two points (x₁,y₁) (x₂,y₂) and put them into the slope equation m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁):
We can take two points from the graph: (2,9) (4,10)
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
m=(10-9)/(4-2)
m=1/2 or 0.5
Now sub this value in for m and our formula looks like this:
y=0.5x+c
To find the value of c, sub in one of the points, eg. (4,10)
y=0.5x+c
10=0.5(4)+c
10=2+c
c=8
So now that we now m and c, our equation is complete :D
y=0.5x+8
