Please help me solve this question: Write the equation for the line that has a slope of 2 and passes through the point (1,3) in standard form
**
standard form of equation for a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given problem:
equation: y=2x+b
solve for b using coordinates of given point (1,3)
3=2*1+b
b=1
Equation of given line:
y=2x+1
