Answer:
y = 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 6 in y-intercept form is
y=(-2)/(3)x+2. From this, we can make
y=mx+2. Substitute (x, y) with (1, 5) and you get
5=1m+2. Subtraction 2 from both sides and you get
3=m. We now have all the info we need. Assemble the equation and you got
y = 3x + 2.
