y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation of straight line by using the formula :y= mx+c

put the x-value of point (2,4) which is 2 and the gradient,m which is 2 into the straight line equation:

y=2x +c

So you need to find the y-intercept to complete the equation, therefore:

when y=0,

0=2(2)+c

c=-4

next the question ask to find the y-coordinate when x =3, therefore you just need to replace x in the equation with 3:

y=2(3)-4

y=4
