Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope-intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope, which is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point to another on the line.
b is the y-intercept - the y value when x = 0.
for the slope we see
x changes by +2 (from 1 to 3)
y changes by +6 (from 10 to 16)
so, the slope a is +6/+2 = 3
and the semi-ready equation is
y = 3x + b.
now we use one of the points in the equation to solve for b. I picked (1, 10) :
10 = 3×1 + b = 3 + b
b = 7
so, the full equation is
y = 3x + 7
