Are you asking for how to make the Standard Form equation of your line's equation? A slope value by itself is not an equation of a line.

Consider starting like this:
y=%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bk in which n/d is slope, and k is the y-intercept.

dy=d%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bdk
dy=nx%2Bdk
-nx%2Bdy=dk
or
nx-dy=-dk

You can use this method with your actual equation, or you can just apply the formula result.
