Start by finding the slope of this line. Let and represent two distinct points on a line on a Cartesian Plane. (That is, .) The slope of this line would be:
.
For the line in this question:
,
;
.
Indeed, . The slope of this line would thus be , which is equal to .
On a Cartesian Plane, the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of and includes the point can be written as:
.
(Note the minus signs in this form.)
For the line in this question, . There are two equivalent expressions for its point-slope form:
Using the first point, . This equation is equivalent to .
