In y=mx+b form, x and y are the coordinates of the point, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Knowing all that, just plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know.

In the first problem, when you plug in your information, you will get the equation . To solve for b, first multiply 2 and 1 to get . Then, subtract 2 from both sides to get . Finally, to write that in proper y = mx+b form, just plug in your m and b to get .
In the second problem, when you plug in the information, you will get the equation . Multiply -3 and 4 to get . Add 12 to both sides to get . In proper form, this is .
In the final problem, when you plug in the information, you will get the equation . Multiply -4 and 2 to get . Add 8 to both sides to get . In proper form, this is .
