Answer 2

Are you familiar with how to find the equation of a line?

Answer 3

y=mx+b

Answer 4

first find m which is the slope

Answer 5

pick 2 points and use rise/run

Answer 6

(240-180)/(2-1)

Answer 7

m=60

Answer 8

so far we have
y=60x+b

Answer 9

now we find what b is by plugging in a point for x and y

Answer 10

180=60(1) + b

Answer 11

b=120

Answer 12

This means that the equation is
y = 60x + 120
