If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (0,1), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

---Point-Slope Formula---
where is the slope, and

is the given point

So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line

Plug in , , and (these values are given)

Distribute

Multiply and to get

Add 1 to both sides to isolate y

Combine like terms and to get

Answer:

So the equation of the line with a slope of which goes through the point (0,1) is
