  • Point-Slope Form:
    y-y_1=m(x-x_1) , with m = slope and
    (x_1,y_1) as a point on the line.

(This equation is in point-slope form)

Firstly, let's look for the slope. Since 2/3 is in the m placeholder, this means that 2/3 is the slope.

Next, a point on the line. Looking at this equation, since -15 is in the x1 placeholder and 7 is in the y1 placeholder, a point on this line is (15, -7).
