Answer:

y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

With this information, we can create 2 points: (2, 9) and (5, 15)

Plug in the points:

(15 - 9) / (5 - 2)

6 / 3

= 2

Plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

15 = 2(5) + b

15 = 10 + b

5 = b

Plug in the slope and b into the equation:

y = 2x + 5 is the equation of the line
