y=mx+b, right? So, b is the height of the y-intercept that you already have. M is the slope, rise over run. The slope is the same at all part of a line. You take the distance up from the y-intercept to the point and divide by the distance right from the y-intercept to the point. Replace m with that and you have the equation.
What else can I help you with?
What is used to write a equation of a line with a given slope that passes through a given point?
(0,-6) m=-2
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
Could you write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line given that passes through the point shown?
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.
How do you write an equation for a given line that passes through a given point?
If the point is x=a, y=b ie the point (a,b) , then your line is y-b=m(x-a) where m is the gradient (anything you like).
How do you write an equation in slope intercept form with a given point?
Slope Intercept form is meant for a line, so if you know the slope m in the equation y=mx+b then with a given point say (3,4) and say the slope of the line was 2 then the equation would read y=2x+4.
How do you write an equation of a line that passes through the xintercep and yintercept?
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

How do you write an equation that is parallel to a given line and passes through the given point?
Parallel straight line equations have the same slope but with different y intercepts
How do you write an equation in slope intercept form with a given point?
