Answer:

y = m(x - x₁) + y₁

Explanation:

Given expression for the slope of a line is,

m =
(y-y_1)/(x-x_1)

Here (x, y) and (x₁,y₁) are the ordered pairs lying on the line.

We have to solve this expression for the value of y.

m(x - x₁) = (y - y₁)

m(x - x₁) + y₁ = y

Therefore, y = y₁ + m(x - x₁) will be the answer.
