given:
(x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D)= (2, -2)
and slope m=1%2F3
the formula for the equation, if given point (x%5B1%5D, y%5B1%5D) and slope m, is:

y=mx%28y%5B1%5D+-mx%5B1%5D%29......substitute given values

y=%281%2F3%29x%2B%28-2+-%281%2F3%292%29
y=%281%2F3%29x%2B%28-6%2F3+-%282%2F3%29%29
y=%281%2F3%29x-8%2F3
