I'm assuming you mean net ionic equation
2 aqueous phosphate ions plus 3 aqueous calcium ions yielding solid calcium phosphate
2 PO4-3 (aq) + 3 Ca+2 (aq) --> Ca3(PO4)2 (s)
the calcium phosphate on the right side of the equation is commonly called a precipitate (an insoluble solid formed from two liquids)

I don't know if there is a specific equation. Both substances would form ionic species in water, and the question then becomes the solubility of calcium phosphate vs sodium chloride.

Because they are both soluble in water, there would be no net ionic equation.
