y=13x193

Explanation:

Let's start off with point-slope form.
(yy1)=m(xx1)
where y1 and x1 are points on the line and m is the slope.
We can plug in the information we have into this equation.
y(7)=13(x2)
or
y+7=13(x2)
If you want to convert this to slope-intercept form, you would simply solve for y
y+7=13x+23

y=13x193
