Answer

$ g(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+2$

Work Step by Step

$g(2)=3$ can be written as $(2,3)$ and $g(6)=5$ as $(6,5)$ Slope $m=\frac{5-3}{6-2}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ Point-slope form is $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ Using the values of slope $m$ and point $(6,5)$, we get $y-5=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)$ $\implies y-5=\frac{1}{2}x-3$ $\implies y=\frac{1}{2}x-3+5$ $\implies y=\frac{1}{2}x+2$ A function is $ g(x)=\frac{1}{2}x+2$
