You need to begin with the point-slope form of a line. The equation of a line with slope passing through (,) is:

You are given: and (,)=(,), so just substitute:

So far, so good, but you need the equation in standard form, i.e.

Distribute the 10:

Add -10x to both sides:

Add 2 to both sides:

Then, just because it looks nicer, multiply both sides by -1:

Now go relax with a cup of tea, you deserve it.
