Answer:

y = 2x+1

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + c

where m is the slope, and c is the y-intercept.

Let's apply the point-slope form,

that is:
\frac{y-y{__1}}{x-x{__1}}} = m

Given
({x__1},{y__1}) = (2,5) and
m = 2

Let plug in all these values into the point-slope form.


(y-5)/(x-2)} = 2

y-5 = 2x-4

y = 2x-4+5

y = 2x+1
