What is the equation of a line with slope 2 and y-intercept 3?

A.

y = 2x + 3

✓ Correct
B.

y = 2x - 3

C.

y = 3x + 2

D.

y = -2x + 3

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is the best answer. y = mx + b where m = 2, b = 3

Why others are wrong:
B: y = 2x - 3 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
C: y = 3x + 2 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
D: y = -2x + 3 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
