Question 526271
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You cannot write <i><b>the</b></i> equation of a line.  You can write as many forms of a possible infinite number of forms of <i><b>an</b></i> equation whose solution set is the set of points that comprise a line through a given point and with a given slope as you like.


Use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ -\ y_1\ =\ m(x\ -\ x_1) ]


where *[tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right)] are the coordinates of the given point and *[tex \Large m] is the given slope.


Then you can put your answer into whatever form(s) you like.
