Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)


Since you know m = 2, you can plug it into the equation

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

To find "b", plug in the point (2,4) into the equation

y = 2x + b

4 = 2(2) + b

4 = 4 + b Subtract 4 on both sides

0 = b


y = 2x + 0

y = 2x
