∙ 6y agoPoint: (2, 17)
Slope: 7
Equation: y = 2x+13
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
You can have infinitely many lines through one specific point, each with a different equation. If you want to have a general equation for ANY line that goes through that point, use the point-slope equation for a line, and use a variable for the slope.
When it is a line through the origin.
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
If given simply the slope of a line and a point through which it passes, and then told to find the equation of the line, one of the easiest ways of doing so is to use the point-slope formula.

If you mean a slope of -10 through the point (1, 4) then the equation is y = -10x+14
If you mean a slope of -12 through the point (5, 3) the equation is y = -12x+63
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
When it is a line through the origin.
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
If you mean slope of -10 and point of (1, 4) then the equation is y = -10x+14
If you mean: slope of -13 and point of (5, 7) then the equation is y = -13x+72
There are infinitely many lines that pass through the point (5, 5). The point slope equation for a straight line with a given slope m through a point (x0, y0) is given by: y - y0 = m(x - x0) Which means that the straight line through the point (5, 5) will have an equation of the form: y - 5 = m(x - 5) where m is the slope of the line - you'll need to replace that with the slope you require.
The point slope equation is (y - 9) = 5*(x - 4)
It is: y = -10x+14
