Write an expression that describes the pattern shown between the x and y values of the following points: (1, 3.5), (2, 4), (3, 4.5), (4, 5)
------
Notice that y will be 3 if x = 0
So 0 is the y-intercept.
Notice that y increases by 0.5 when x increases by 1.
So 0.5 is the slope.
------
y = 3 + 0.5x
