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.)
