The linear equations are y - 25 = 0.89(x - 20) and y = 0.89x + 7.2
<h3>The slope of the line</h3>The complete question is added as an attachment
The two points from the graph are (20, 25) and (38, 41)
The slope of the line is calculated using
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Substitute the known values in the above equation
m = (41 - 25)/(38 - 20)
Evaluate
m =0.89
<h3>The linear equation in point slope form</h3>This is calculated as:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute the known values in the above equation
y - 25 = 0.89 * (x - 20)
Evaluate
y - 25 = 0.89(x - 20)
<h3>The linear equation in slope-intercept form</h3>We have:
y - 25 = 0.89(x - 20)
Expand
y - 25 = 0.89x - 17.8
Add 25 to both sides
y = 0.89x + 7.2
Hence, the linear equations are y - 25 = 0.89(x - 20) and y = 0.89x + 7.2

Step 1: Find the slope:
This gives you , but we need to find b.
To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):
Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:
It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.
