Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Here the slope of the line = m = 2

The line passes through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) = ( , 9 ).

The equation of the line with slope m and passing through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) is given by ( y - y 1 ) = m ( x - x 1 )

( y - 9 ) = 2 ( x - 3 )y - 9 = 2 x - 6

Collecting terms in one side

0 = 2 x - y - 6 + 9

2 x - y + 3 = 0

Hope this helps x
