Remember a form called point-slope equation for a line.

The formula for slope is , where (x,y) is any point and (,) is a particular point different from (x,y). The formula can be rearranged my multiplying left and right members by :

or
, which is the point-slope form for a line.

Just substitute the values for your given point and the value of your given slope and adjust appropriately using arithmetic or algebra steps.
