Grade 9 - Equation of a line

Given m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, can you determine the equation of the line? y = mx + b.
Determining the equation of the line makes graphing a lot easier to do. Using the graphing calculators we can input the equation of a line in slope-y-intercept form and find similarities between lines and determine whether or not they are parallel.
