y is a straight line of slope 1 and y-intercept of 2
y has a single zero at x=2

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line in slope (m) and y-intercept (c) form is:

y=mx+c

In our example: m=1 and c=2

Hence: y is a straight line of slope 1 and y-intercept of 2

y=0x+2=0

x=2

Hence: y has a single zero at x=2

These points can be seen on the graph of y below:
