slope

Pick either point and use the ordered pair values in slope-intercept form of equation:
Picking P(6,2),
, general way to show slope intercept form of line equation.
, where b is the y-intercept.

You want equation in standard form, but we can more quickly write the slope-intercept form. Not a problem. We can convert into standard form:

, just by adding +3x to both sides. In other examples, sometimes a couple more steps are needed.
