the standard form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
TO FIND THE SLOPE: we take the x and y intercepts as a fraction. in this case the line touches the y axis (vertical) at point/value 2 and the x axis at point 2 as well. This means the slope is 2/2x which can be simplified to 1x or just x.
TO FIND THE Y INTERCEPT: we find where the line touches the y axis at point 2.
the slope is plugged into the m of the equation and the y intercept is plugged into the b of the equation.
