---------------------------
You have 3 points: (0,23) ; (1,26) ; (2,29)
-------------------------------
Notice that y increases 3 for every x-increase of 1; that is the slope;
Notice that y = 23 when x = 0 ; that is the y-intercept.
-------------------------------
f(x) = 3x+23
----
Therefore f(4) = 3*4 = 23 = 35
