Slope-intercept form looks like this:
Where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
m = 3, b = 2
y = 3x + 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
m = 1, b = -1
y = 1x - 1
y = x - 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
m = 0, b = 6
y = 0x + 6
y = 6

Remember the slope-intercept form is:

So all you have to do is replace the m and the b with the appropriate values from the given table of values.
For m = 3, b = 2:


For m = 1, b = -1:
You can leave out the 1 in front of the x and write:

For m = 0, b = 6:
Now, zero times anything is always zero, so:
or just:
