Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope

--------------------------

m = rise/run

m = (y2 - y1)/x2 - x1)

m = (7 - 3)/(4-2)

m = 4/2

m = 2

----------------------

To find "b" plug in m = 2 and either point into the slope intercept formula

using point (2, 3)

3 = 2(2) + b

3 = 4 + b

b = -1

------------------------

With m = s and b = -1 the equation is

y = 2x - 1
