How do I find the equation (in slope intercept form )of the line if given the solution and the ordered pair it passes through?

\n" ); document.write( "You can always find the equation of a straight line if you have:
\n" ); document.write( "Its slope and a point on the line, or 2 points on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "With given slope and a point (ordered pair):
\n" ); document.write( "With slope in the equation,
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in x and y coordinates of given point in to basic equation to find b, the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "You now have the slope,m and y-intercept, b to complete the equation of the line, y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "With 2 given points.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope,m=∆y/∆x=change in y/change in x=rise,run
\n" ); document.write( "With slope in the equation,
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in x and y coordinates of any one given point in to basic equation to find b, the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "You now have the slope,m and y-intercept, b to complete the equation of the line, y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "
