Answer

$a)$ $y=2x+6$ $b)$ $2x-y+6=0$ $c)$ Graph below

Work Step by Step

The line that has slope $2$ and $y$-intercept $6$ $a)$ The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $b$ is its $y$-intercept. Both the slope and the $y$-intercept are given. Substitute them into the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line formula: $y=2x+6$ $b)$ To write the equation in general form, just take $y$ to the right side of the equation: $y=2x+6$ $0=2x-y+6$ $2x-y+6=0$ $c)$ Graph below
