Given
Point (x, y)=(3,2)
Slope = m = 2
Equation of the line slope-intercept form
y=mx+b
Put the given values of point and slope in above equation in order to know the y-intercept
2=(2)(3)+b
2=6+b
2-6=b
-4=b
b=-4
y-intecept = b = -4
Again put the values of slope and y-intercept in the equation of the line slope-intercept form
y=2x+(-4)
y=2x-4
Above equation is required equation of the line.
