Answer:

B = 0

Explanation:

If you have y = 2x + b and are trying to get to y = 2x

Then just remove the B itself meaning it's value would be 0 so it is as if that variable was never in the actual equation.

Basing ourselves off of the formula "y = mx + b"

B = 0 would mean that the y-intercept of the line is 0
