The point-slope form of a line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)_{}$

where (x_1, y_1) are the coordinates of a point on the line.

From the given point we find the slope m.

With the value of the slope in hand, we now use one of the points given to write down the point-slope form:

$\textcolor{#FF7968}{y-10=2.5(x-6)}$

where we have used the point (6, 10).
