The approximate equation in slope intercept form is y = 3x + 2.
Solution:
Let us take (0, 2) and (1, 5) on the graph.
Equation of the line in slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Slope of the line:
m = 3
y-intercept of the line is the value of y when x = 0.
Here the value of y is 2 when x = 0. That is (0, 2) is the point of y-intercept.
Therefore b = 2.
y = 3x + 2
Hence the approximate equation in slope intercept form is y = 3x + 2.
