Which form of equation do you want? Assuming you first learn about slope-intercept form, then be reminded, slope means vertical change divided by horizontal change. Your given slope of 3 means that for every unit change to the right, the graph changes by three units upward.

Slope-Intercept form is y=mx+b, where b is the y value for x=0. You can solve the equation for b, and compute the value from the values of slope and the given point.

------ can you fill in the missing step not shown? Simplify the equation.
