Answer: [tex]\ y=b(x-a+1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing from points (p,q) and has slope m is given by :-

[tex](y-q)=m(x-p)[/tex]

Given : Slope of line {m} = b

Point through which line is passing : (p,q) =(a,b)

The equation of a line passing from points (a,b) and has slope m is given by :-

[tex](y-b)=b(x-a)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-b=bx-ba\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=bx-ba+b\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=b(x-a+1)[/tex]
