$y = 7 x + 2$ $y = color(red)(7)x + color(blue)(2)$

Use the slope-intercept formula to solve this problem.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

$y = m x + b$ $y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)$

Where $m$ $color(red)(m)$ is the slope and $b$ $color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept value.

Substituting the values from the problem gives:

$y = 7 x + 2$ $y = color(red)(7)x + color(blue)(2)$
