You cannot find the equation of a line since there are many ways to describe the set of ordered pairs that comprise any given line. You can, however, determine an equation whose solution set is a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line with the given characteristics. Use the point-slope form.
 )
where )
are the coordinates of the given point and 
is the given slope.
It looks from the last line of your question that the slope-intercept form (
) is the desired form of the answer.
So distribute the across 
, add 
to both sides, and combine 
.
