Question 472426
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You cannot write <i><b>the</b></i> equation of <i><b>the</b></i> line that has a *[tex \Large y]-intercept of 2.  In the first place, there are an infinite number of lines that have a *[tex \Large y]-intercept of 2, and each of them has an infinite number of equation representations.  The best that can be done is to write <i><b>an</b></i> equation that represents the <i><b>family</b></i> of lines with a *[tex \Large y]-intercept of 2.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ =\ mx\ +\ 2]


Where *[tex \Large m\ \in\ \mathbb{R}] represents any of the infinite possible slopes a line only described as having a *[tex \Large y]-intercept of 2 could have.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
