Answer

$y=x+2$

Work Step by Step

$f(0)=2$ can be written as $(0,2)$ and $f(2)=4$ as $(2,4)$. Slope $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{4-2}{2-0}=\frac{2}{2}=1$ Because the line crosses the y-axis at $(0,2)$, Y-intercept $b=2$. Equation of line in the slope-intercept form is $y=mx+b$. Substituting the values of $m$ and $b$, we get an equation of line as $y=1x+2$ That is, $y=x+2$
