Point-slope form: #y=14/25 x-69/250#
Standard form: #140x-250y=69#

Explanation:

Remember that #y=mx+b# is the formula for point-slope form. All we have to do is plug in values and solve for #b#:

#23/10=14/25(23/5)+b#
#23/10=322/125+b#
#-69/250=b#
#y=14/25 x-69/250#

If you need standard form, here it is:

#-14/25 x+y=-69/250#
#-250*(-14/25 x+y)=(-69/250)*-250#
#140x-250y=69#

Hope this helped! :)
