The equation of a line passing through a point P with coordinates (a,b) and slope m is
(y-b) = m(x-a)
changing that to the more conventional form:
y = mx + (b - ma)

No line described, but here is the point slope form. Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) =============
If you have any expression that defines a line, you can find the slope of the line. After you have found the slope of the line, you can then write an expression describing the line in slope intercept form. You can't define a slope-intercept form for any nonlinear equation, because the slope is always* changing; there are often several intercepts as well.
