Question
The graph of a function is a straight line with a slope of 2 and a \(y\)-intercept of 7. What is the equation of the function? Write your answer in \(y=mx+b\) form.(1 point)

1 answer

To write the equation of a linear function in the form \(y = mx + b\), you need to identify the values of \(m\) (slope) and \(b\) (y-intercept).

From the information given:

  • The slope \(m\) is 2.
  • The y-intercept \(b\) is 7.

Substituting these values into the equation gives:

\[ y = 2x + 7 \]

So, the equation of the function is \(y = 2x + 7\).
