To find the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form, we first need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).

Looking at the graph, we can see that the trend line passes through the points (0, 4) and (10, 24).

Calculating the slope:
m = (24 - 4) / (10 - 0)
m = 20 / 10
m = 2

Now that we have the slope, we can calculate the y-intercept by plugging one of the points into the equation y = mx + b:
4 = 2(0) + b
b = 4

Therefore, the equation of the trend line in slope-intercept form is:
y = 2x + 4
