Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form a=2 and b=1

$a = 2$ and $b = 1$

Step 1

Find the value of $b$ using the formula for the equation of a line.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Replace the known value of $b$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = m x + 1$

Step 3

Simplify the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = m x + 1$

Rewrite the equation in $y = m x + b$ form.

$y = m x + 1$
