------
Use
y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where m= slope and (x1,y1) is the point.

the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line:
y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b y-intercept
given:
slope m=+-5
y=+-5x%2Bb
use given point (2,-5) to find b
-5=+-5%2A2%2Bb
-5=+-10%2Bb
b=10-5
b=5
so your equation is y=+-5x%2B5

--------------------------
through:(h,k), slope = m
---------------------------

y-k=m%28x-h%29
y=mx-mh%2Bk
highlight_green%28y=mx%2Bk-mh%29
