slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m = the slope and b = the y-intercept.
We know that the line passes through x-coordinate 1 and y-coordinate 1 and has a slope of 2
Let's plug our numbers into the slope-intercept form
1 = 2(1) + b
Simplify the right side
1 = 2 + b
Subtract 2 from both sides
-1 = b
The final answer: y = 2x - 1
