Answer:
y = 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope-intercept form ( y = mx + b ) where m is the slope ( rise over run ) and the y-intercept is 1 because where x = 0, y =1. You can either use rise over run to solve the slope or plug in an x and y value on the line and solve algebriacally.
Rise Over Run:
Take two values on the line, for example, (0,1) and (1,3) y is the rise and x is the run, so write each one with y over x in fraction form.
(0,1) = (1,3) = then subtract the second value from the first
- = which simplifies to 2. So the slope is 2.
Algebra:
plug a coordinate on the line into the equation y =mx + 1. For example (1,3)
3 = m(1) + 1 anything multiplied by 1 is itself so we can cancel out the 1 in the equation
3 = m + 1 subtract 1 from both sides
-1 -1
2 = m each method shows the slope is 2 so now we can put it together into the answer, y = 2x + 1
