General form for a linear equation for two variables is as y=mx+b. This means ;

Putting everything into the form in a raw manner,
, only needs to be simplified and kept in general form. (meaning, compute b, and use it in the general form).

How do I write a equation in general form when the slope is 5/4 and passes through (-3,-7)??
---------------------
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept.
-7 = (5/4)*-3 +b
-7 = -15/4 + b
b = -13/4
----
An eqn is y = (5/4)x - 13/4
5x - 4y = 13
