part 2 out of 3
enter an equation for the linear relationship.
the equation is y = .

Explanation:

Step1: Identify y-intercept (b)

When $x=0$, $y=12$, so $b=12$.

Step2: Calculate slope (m)

Use points $(0,12)$ and $(2,20)$:
$$m=\frac{20-12}{2-0}=\frac{8}{2}=4$$

Step3: Write linear equation

Substitute $m=4$, $b=12$ into $y=mx+b$.

Answer:

$y = 4x + 12$
