The general formula for the equation of the straight line is:

y−b=m(x−a) where

m is the slope

a is the x coordinate of the given point

b is the y coordinate of the given point

The slope is given as 2

x coordinate in the given point is 5

y coordinate of the given point is 9

Substitute with these values in the mentioned equation as follows:

y−9=2(x-5)
