First, solve the given equation for 
in terms of everything else to put the given equation into slope-intercept form, namely 
.
Next, using the slope determined in the first step and the coordinates of the given point, insert values into the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the calculated slope.
Finally, solve the derived equation for in terms of everything else in order to arrange your answer into slope-intercept form.
