hi guest!
 

we can start off by finding the y-coordinate which is (0,3),so that means that b=3.

 

next we can find the slope by using y2y1x2x1, and we can use (-1,0) and (0,3).

 

This would equal 300(1)=31=3.

 

so the answer is y=3x+3.

Hmm

Khan Academy stuff I see

Although someone has given you the answer already, you shouldn't go right to that. Let's work through this.

The equation for a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here, we see that 3 is obviously the intercept, but what is the slope? Well, to find it, we can get a set of clean points, and then apply the formula slope=change in ychange in x. Here, we see that for every 1 unit across, it goes 3 units upwards. Using our formula, we get 31=3 as our slope, so our answer is y=3x+3
