One specific point would be (4,3)
Explanation:
Slope of the line passing through (5,6) and (2,8) would be
Slope of the line parallel to this one would also be
Then
satisfying the equation.
A specific point can be obtained by assigning the value x=4 for which y would be 3. this point would thus be (4,3).
