Answer 2

The equation has the form: y=ax+b
a is 3 in this case, so y=3x+b
Now just put the x and y from that point into the equation and b must be a number that satisfy it.
6=3*1+b

Answer 3

y = mx+b


6 = (3)(1)+b


6 = 3+b

Answer 4

Keep going to solve for b

Answer 5

b = 3

Answer 7

good

Answer 8

So the equation is y = 3x + 3

Answer 9

so is the equation y = 3x + 3?

Answer 10
