Tethering a Macbook air to an android 12 phone

I have an android LG k42 (android version 12) I am going away and would like to tether my Macbook Air MacOS Ventura 13.1 to the phone, preferably by USB cable. However it just won't connect. The pull down USB information on my phone says it's connected, but the Mac is telling me there's no connection.

Can anyone throw any light on this please?

TIA

I used to be able to tether my MacBook Air to my iPhone. I used to be able to tether my MacBook Air to my iPhone. The laptop would show the phone as an option when searching for a network. Now that doesn’t show up anymore and when I try to pair the laptop with phone using Bluetooth, it says “not supported.” Surely there’s still a way to do this?
