    Y equals 2x plus 3

    The slope represents the followers gained per day.

    The y-intercept represents the followers she had in the beginning

    Total no. of followers = y

    No. of days = x

    Equation-

    y=2x+3.

    Using equation y=mx+c,

    m=2 and c=3

    So slope of the line is 2 which shows the no. of followers added every day.

    y intercept is 3, representing the initial no. of followers.
