Answer by EMStelley(208) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have a point (x1,y1) and a slope m, the equation of the line through that point with that slope is

If you have the slope m and the y-intercept b, the equation of the line is

Here, your point (x1,y1) is (0,2). Notice though, that this is the y-intercept (x=0 means you are on the y-axis). So you actually know that the y-intercept is 2. So, you can set up the equation directly:

If you didn't realize this, you could use the first formula I gave you as follows:
