Answer:

Slope-intercept form:
y = 2x-7

Point-slope form:
y+3=2(x-2)

HOW TO GET THE SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM

1. Plot the coordinates on a graph.

2. Draw a line between those two coordinates.

2. Find the point where the line intercepts the y-axis

That will be your y-intercept

3. To find your slope do
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) and simplify in this case it would give you
(2)/(1) when simplified.

HOW TO GET THE POINT-SLOPE FORM

The formula for the point-slope form is
y-y_(1) = m(x-x_(1) ) with m being your slope

Simply plug-in the numbers, you can use any coordinates for this.
