Find the equation of a line passing through the point (7, -2) and having a slope .
Start with the slope-intercept form:
Substitute
Now find b by substituting for x and y the x- and y-coordinates of the given point (7, -2), thus:
Simplify this and solve for b.
Subtract 8 from both sides.

The final equation becomes:

Here's the graph of the line:
