Keywords:

standard equation, straight line, slope, cut point

For this case, we must write the equation of a line in a standard way. Which is given by: y = mx + b. Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the cut point with the y axis. The slope is given by:


m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

To find the slope, substitute two points
(x_ {1}, y_ {1})\ and\ (x_ {2}, y_ {2})through which the line passes.

In this case, we were given the cut point
b = 3, so we have the following equation:


y = mx + 3

Answer:


y = mx + 3
