Find a linear function whose graph has slope 5 and y-intercept (0,7)

Use the slope-y-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m = the slope, 5, and b = the y-coordinate of the y-intercept,
which is 7.

So y = mx + b becomes

y = 5x + 7

That's the answer unless your teacher wants it in functional
notation, and if he does then change the y to f(x),

f(x) = 5x + 7
