you write the equation by finding the y-intercept (what y is when x is 0) and then find the slope. slope is rise/run (or y-value over x-value) so you count how you get from the first number of the table, to the second number (for both top and bottom) with the x-values they go up by 1 every time, and with the y-values they go up by 4 every time. so put it as rise/run which would be 4/1 and then simplify, so it's 4. and then you plug the slope and y-intercept into the equation y=mx+b (m is slope and b is y-intercept) and you get: y=4x-6
