Answer

$f(x)=2x+3$

Work Step by Step

To find the slope, take two points and find the $\frac{change-in-y}{change-in-x}$ (subtract and divide). Example: $(1,5), (2,7)$ $\frac{7-5}{2-1}$ = $2$ Your slope is $2$. To find $b$, take a point and plug it into the equation. Example: $(0,3)$ $3=2(0)+b$ $3=b$
