Question 320365: Find the equation of the line that contains the point (14, –9) and has
slope -3/7

Use the point-slope formula.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)....This is the point-slope formula.
We now plug and chug to find your equation.
y -(-9) = (-3/7)(x - 14)
y + 9 = (-3/7)(x) - 6
y = (-3/7)(x) - 6 - 9
y = (-3/7)(x) - 15
Done!
