@kat_s123 :  Thank you for trying to be helpful.  In the long run it'd be a lot more helpful to  other OpenStudy users if you'd please NOT provide answers, but rather help the other person find his or her own answers.

Okay.. well the formula is y - y1 = m(x-x1). y1 and x1 represents any point that you are given. and m represents the slope. And then you substitute your given info in and you can create the equation.
