You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b [slope-intercept form of a line]
y=any y value of the line
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x value of the line
b=the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis at point (0,b)]
.
y = 7x
or
y=7x+0
slope=m=7
y=intercept = (0,0)
