The trick depends on what you studied and know so far. Best bets are slope-intercept form of a line equation and point-slope form of equation. The response question back to you could be, "what have you been taught about equations of lines?"

SOLVING THROUGH SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM:
, the form.

Solve this for b.

Substitute values for the given point (6,2) to get the value for b.
________________showing that

The equation then, in slope-intercept form, is
