Question 545769
3	x	+	1	y  	=	9	
Find the slope of this line 							
make y the subject							
1	y  	=	-3	x	+	9	
Divide by 	1						
	y  	=	-3    	x	+	9	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	-3    						
	
m=	-3    	,point	(	2	,	5	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
5	=	-6      	+	b			
b=	11						
m=	-3    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b	in y = mx +b		
The required equation is,	y  	=	-3    	x	+	11
