m=%28y-v%29%2F%28x-p%29 for some given included point (p,v)


A line passes through the point (p,v)
and has a slope of m

to find a line that passes through the point (-8,-7) and has a slope of 5%2F4, use "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line which is:

y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-x%5B1%5D%29

y+-+%28-7%29+=+%285%2F4%29%28x+-%28-8%29%29
y+%2B7+=+%285%2F4%29x+%2B8%285%2F4%29
y+%2B7+=%285%2F4%29x+%2B10
y++=%285%2F4%29x+%2B10-7
highlight%28y++=%285%2F4%29x+%2B3%29
