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)y=mx+b

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

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

Therefore:

  • The slope is: color(red)(m = 2)m=2

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