Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, then

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (4, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 8 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 8 = - 5

y = 2x - 5 ← equation of line
