Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

The given line is y = 2x - 6.

It is in the y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, so its slope is 2.

We need a line that passes through point P(3, 5) and has slope 2.

y = mx + b

Put the slope in m.

y = 2x + b

Use the given point with x = 3 and y = 5 and solve for b.

5 = 2(3) + b

b + 6 = 5

b = -1

The equation is

y = 2x - 1
