Find the general form of the equation of the line that passes through the given point and has indicated slope. Use a graphing utility to verify your sketch if possible.

Point: (0,-2) Slope: m=3

Any help would be great. I'm drawing a blank on how to do this.

Okay, that's pretty easy. You want me to find one for you, or is their multiple choices?

Easy, it is y=3x-2

since -2 is the Y intercept, you would start by graphing that point, which is (0,-2). Then, the slope wants to be 3, which means that you would just go up 3, then right 1. That is your equation.
