Answer:

Point Slope Form:  [tex]y-0=2(x-0)[/tex]

Simplified Form:  [tex]y=2x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of line is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Where

m is the slope

[tex]x_1[/tex]  is the first x-coordinate

[tex]y_1[/tex]  is the first y-coordinate

Given slope is 2, thus we can say:

m = 2

Also, it says the line goes through the point (0,0), so:

[tex]x_1=0[/tex]

and

[tex]y_1=0[/tex]

Now, substituting, we get the point slope form to be:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=2(x-0)\\y=2(x)\\y=2x[/tex]

That's the answer.
