I think you need to use Point-slope form to answer this question which states that equation of a line through the points (x1, y1) and slope m is given by
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m (x-x1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here you are given m & (x1,y1) in the question, so substituting values in the above formulae..\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y-1 = (2/5) (x-3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides by 5 results in\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5(y-1) = 2(x-3)
\n" ); document.write( "Further simplification leads to
\n" ); document.write( "5y-5=2x-6
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 2x-6+5
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "y= 2x/5 -1/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
