Easier to use point-slope form, and transform the equation into standard form.

, generalized point-slope form, using point (u,v).
m=slope, vertical change divided by horizontal change.

,was a mistake;

Next, pick either given point;
, now corrected;
You can finish putting this into the standard form.

(Try to look past my earlier mistake, and transform the point-slope form into standard form.)
