Step-by-step explanation:

y = 312x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to y = mx + b, m stands for slope and b stands for y-intercept. Let us find the y-intercept. To find the y-intercept, the x should be zero in (x, y).

(x, y)

(0, 2) ---> y-intercept (b)

Now that we have found the y-intercept, we will now find the slope by using its formula.

Slope formula:-

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Pick two random (x, y). I will pick the first and last pairs.

(0, 2) and (4, 1250)

Now plug these two pairs in the formula.

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m = 1250 - 2 / 4 - 0

m = 1248 / 4

m = 312

This means that the slope (m) is 312. Now put that in y = mx + b form.

y = mx + b

y = 312x + 2

Both of the forms are the same. Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
