Question 65222: what does this meen? What do I need to do? How would i solve this problem?

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point and has the given slope. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
(0,2), m=1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
An equation written in slope-intercept form will look like
y=slope times x + y intercept
This is normally abbreviated to
y=mx + b (some people use c here ) where the m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept
In your example you are told the slope (m=1) and the y intercept (0,2)
So your equation is
y = 1x + 2
y = x + 2
