The line shown in the image passes through the points (1, 2) and (2, 4).

It's given the form of the equation is:

y = mx

We need to calculate the value of m. We only need one point to do so. Let's use (1, 2) and substitute in the equation:

2 = m (1)

Solving for m:

m = 2

Thus, the equation of the line is:

y = 2x

Note: If we had used the other point, we would have obtained the very same value of m = 2
