Answer:
y=2x
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx is the format of the graph we are looking for (as told in the instructions) where k is the variable we are supposed to find (like y = x, y=2x, y=3x, etc)
Note that as x increases by 1, y increases by 2. We can see that by writing a table of the points of points that the line given intersects (picture below). We can see that by the values of the x-axis and the y-axis. Why does this happen? This is because y =2x for each value of x. We notice that in our table.
Therefore, the equation is y=2x. I hope this helps! If you still have questions, ask me in the comments!
