The question only makes sense if the equation is a linear one.
You rearrange the terms of the equation so that you have y on one side of the equals sign and the rest on the other side.
Divide through by the coefficient of y so you then have the equation in the form
y = mx + c
One point on the line is (0, c)
and
the slope is m.

You solve the equation.
If you have two equations give AND one parametric equation why do you need to find yet another equation?
You solve the equation.
you find the hard equation and simplify it....
Assuming the two points are (-4,-7) and (3,2) the equation for the slope would be (3-(-4))/(2-(-7)) which equals 7/9. If we use y=mx+b and the point (3,2) you get 2=(7/9)*3+b which simplifies to 2=2 1/3+b then by subtracting 2 1/3 from both sides you are left with b= -1/3. Thus the equation is y=7/9x-1/3.
