I think there is an equation for this but I don't believe I recall it. Let me take a gander at google search :P

is this an exercise for someone?

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

$$y=mx+b$$

y−y1=m(x−x1) thats the one i think you should use

ok i am totally new to this stuff so any help in explaining this stuff small steps at a time would be helpful. thanks

marissalovescats · Answer

Because you have a point and the slope. 

So like y-2=1/3(x+5)

jhannybean · Answer

Just use the slope intercept form to find the value of the y-intercept, then write your equation out in slope intercept form.
