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)


Distribute


Multiply and to get


Add 13 to both sides to isolate y


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

Answer:


So the equation of the line with a slope of which goes through the point (,) is:


which is now in form where the slope is and the y-intercept is
