Answer:
y = x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)
m = =
=
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3, thus
y = x + 3 ← equation of line
