Point-slope form comes from the definition for slope of a line.
If two points (x,y) and (p,v) the number, m, for slope is .


------the point-slope form for a line.

Use your given values and just substitute. That's it!

and you might want the simple simplification,
.

Change from the point-slope form into the slope-intercept form: SIMPLE algebra.
If starting in general with
(But watch your signs very carefullly);


and then either as or .
