Answer:

y = 2x-1

Explanation:

I'm guessing gradient of 2 means slope of 2

if line passes through (2,3) and has a slope of 2, we can use the slope intercept equation

slope-intercept (y=mx+b)

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (which we are trying to find)

so far, we have a point and a slope so we can fill in x,y, and m

(3) = (2)(2) + b

3 = 4 + b

3-4 = 4-4 + b (to undo addition, you use subtraction so I minus 4 from each side)

-1 = b

we found b so we just take the (2,3) out of the equation substitute the x,y back into the equation

y = 2x - 1
