The point-slope form is given by:


y-y_1=m(x-x_(1))

Where m is the slope and (x1,y1) are the coordinate of one point of the line.

The given information is:

Slope m=13/11

Coordinates of the point: (16,20)

Replace these values in the formula:


y-20_{}=(13)/(11)(x-16)_{}

That is the equation of the line.
