You can use the Point-Slope form of equation of a line.
Start with the formula for Slope: and expect you know the value of m, and you know the point (u,v). Multiply both members by (x-u):

----------This may be taken as a generalized Point-Slope equation for a line.

Substitute your given values. For your #2, this is how you start:

Put this into either Slope-Intercept or Standard Form.

, the slope-intercept form.
