slope intercept form is written as: y=mx+b
y is the y coordinate
m is the slope of the line
x is the x coordinate
b is the point that the line intersects the y axis
you need to find b, so you plug in all the other numbers to get:
5=2(3)+b
5=6+b
-6 -6
_____
-1= b
so finally you write: y=2x-1
(note that you write -1 because you are adding negative 1 which is the same as subtracting 1.
also, you are not supposed to write what the x and y are when you write it in slope intercept form, so you leave them as x and y.)
