If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (,), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

---Point-Slope Formula---
where is the slope, and is the given point

So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line

Plug in , , and (these values are given)

Rewrite as

Rewrite as

Distribute

Multiply and to get

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate y

Combine like terms and to get (note: if you need help with combining fractions, check out this solver)

Multiply every term by the LCD 3 to clear the fractions.

Subtract from both sides.

Multiply every term by -1 (this will make the "x" coefficient positive).
