You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b [This is one of the ways to write the equation of a line]
y=any y value on the line
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x of the line
b=the point where the line crosses the y-axis
.
y=2x+1
This equation means that the slope is 2 and the line crosses the y-axis at y=1 and x=0
.
.
The graph of the line looks like:
