First, learn how this works.
Equation for line containing two given points

Next, learn to change from slope-intercept form into standard form for a line.
Slope usually signified as m, but since usually is rational, n%2Fd=m.
y=%28n%2Fd%29x%2Bb
dy=nx%2Bbd
dy-nx=bd
highlight%28-nx%2Bdy=bd%29
OR
highlight%28nx-dy=-bd%29
