The equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

• $m$ is the slope.
• $b$ is the y-intercept.

Given:

• Slope $m = 7$
• Y-intercept $b = 2$

The equation of the line becomes:

$y = 7x + 2$

This is the linear equation representing the line with a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of 2.
