The general form of an equation, in n dimensional space, is
y = a0 + a1x1 + a2x2 + ... + anxn where the ai are constants, and the xi are orthogonal unit vectors.
In 2 dimensions, this reduces to
y = a0 +a1x1 which can be rewritten as
y = mx + c

You cannot define a line with a single point (a single point only defines itself). You need two points to define a line (and therefore to write the equation for it).
Any vertical line has an undefined slope. The equation of the vertical line is x = a where the x-intercept is a.
The formula for a line is: Y = mX + b
y=-2x+3
Because if you ever want to graph that equation you need the actual equation itself to help you graph it.
