Answer: y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

Let's start with what we know. To calculate the slope, we do:
(y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)

So, for this equation we get:

(5 - 2)/(3-0)

We get 3/3, so the slope = 1. So far, we have:

y = 3x + b

Let's use one of our coordinates to plug this in:

2 = 0 + b

So b = 2.

So our final equation is:
y = 3x + 2
