See a solution process below:

Explanation:

This equation can be written in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)

Where color(red)(m) is the slope and color(blue)(b) is the y-intercept value.

y = color(red)(2)x + color(blue)(0)

Therefore:

  • The slope is: color(red)(m = 2)

  • The y-intercept is: color(blue)(b = 0) or (0, color(blue)(0))
