The Slope-Intercept form of the equation of a line is:


y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case, you know that the slope of the lines is the following:


m=2

So you need to find the y-intercept.

Notice that the line intersects the y-axis at this point:


(0,7)

Then, the value of "b" in this case is:


b=7

Therefore, the s
