1 answer

The equation of a line in the slope-intercept form is given by:

\[ y = mx + b \]

where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope (\( m \)) is 2 and the y-intercept (\( b \)) is 7, we can substitute these values into the equation:

\[ y = 2x + 7 \]

Thus, the equation of the function is:

\[ y = 2x + 7 \]
