Here is an example

m= 7/11

Plug value of the slope and point(9,-6) in
Y = m x + b
-6.00 = 63/11 + b
b= -6 - 63/7
b= -129/11
So the equation will be
Y = 5/8 x -129/11

EXAMPLE
Let's say you're looking for the equation of a line that passes trough the point (2,1) with slope 1/4. Consider the point given, and a generic point (x,y) on the same line.
According to the definition of slope,
Multiplying both sides by we get
<--This is the point-slope equation found.
Applying the distributive property to simplify the product, and solving for
---> --->
And that simplifies into the slope intercept-form of the equation

IN GENERAL
The point-slope form of the equation can be derived from the calculation of the slope between any point (x,y) on the line, and the point given.
Solving that point-slope equation for you find the slope-intercept form:
