welshfella · Answer

first find the slope of the line
can you do that?

anonymous · Answer

yeah its 3

welshfella · Answer

yes thats right now plug in  m = 3 and the points (x1,y1)  = (0,2) into the standard equation

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

anonymous · Answer

ohh i get it now! Thanks for helping me through that!

welshfella · Answer

- or you can use the point  (1,5)
