The equation that represents that line is
y=2/3x+5.

First, you have to find the slope (the change of y over the change of x which here is 2/3. Then, you put one of the points in and solve. I used (3,7) When you input them into the equation, you get 7=2/3 (3)+_ Which gives you 7=2+_ .
5+2 is seven, so the blank is 5. So, when you do that, you get Y=2/3x+5.
If you need more of an explanation, comment.
