Slope-intercept form looks like this: y+=+mx+%2B+b
Where m is the slope and b 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:
y+=+mx+%2B+b
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:
y+=+mx+%2B+b
y+=+3x+%2B+2
For m = 1, b = -1:
y+=+%281%29x+%2B%28-1%29 You can leave out the 1 in front of the x and write:
y+=+x+-+1
For m = 0, b = 6:
y+=+%280%29x+%2B+6 Now, zero times anything is always zero, so:
y+=+0+%2B+6 or just:
y+=+6
