Explanation of Solution
Given:
The points and the line
Formula used:
Point slope form of an equation of a line.
Calculation:
To find the slope, write the given line , in the form of .
 Subtract from both sides.
 Divide both sides by .
Hence the slope
Now using this slope and the point , the equation can be found.
 Multiply to both sides.
 Subtract 9 from both sides.
The general form of equation of the line is .
