Answer 2

`\[y=3x+5\]`

Explanation:

Equation of the line which passes through two given points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by:

`\[(y-y1)/(y2-y1)=(x-x1)/(x2-x1)\]`

(x1,y1) = (2,11)

(x2,y2) = (4,17)

Substituting the values in the equation of the line:

`\[(y-11)/(17-11)=(x-2)/(4-2)\]`

=>
`\[(y-11)/(6)=(x-2)/(2)\]`

=>
`\[y-11=3x-6\]`

=>
`\[y=3x+5\]`
