Answer:

2y = 3x

Explanation:

general formula for a straight line is given as

y = mx + b

Given 2 points (2,3) and (4,6), we can use the attached formula to calculate the slope, m of the line which connects the 2 points

m = (6-3) / (4-2) = 3/2

hence the general formula becomes

y = (3/2) x + b

Substitute one of the given points into this equation to find b.

We pick point (2,3)

3 = (3/2) (2) + b

b = 0

hence the equation is

y = (3/2)x

2y = 3x (answer)
