Answer:
y = 5x + 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 )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 8)
m = [tex]\frac{8-3}{1-0}[/tex] = 5
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3) ⇒ c = 3
y = 5x + 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form
