Answer

$y - q = \frac{a}{b}(x - p)$

Work Step by Step

We are given the point $(p, q)$ and the slope $m = \frac{a}{b}$. We can plug these values into the point-slope equation, which is given by the formula: $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$, where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line. Let's plug in the points and slope into the formula: $y - q = \frac{a}{b}(x - p)$
