We know the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b
where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
We are given the slope and a point(x,y) .
Substituting these values into y=mx+b and solving for b we get:

Now substituting this value and our slope into the slope-intercept form, we get our equation of the line we want:
