Answer 1

y = 2x + 1

Explanation:

If we consider the gradient m = 2 and point (1, 3) through which the line passes, we can use the equation y - y1 = m (x - x1) to express the equation of the line in the form y = mx + c.

y - 3 = 2 * (x - 1)

y - 3 = 2x - 2

y - 2x = -2 + 3

y - 2x = 1

y = 2x + 1
