If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (1,2), you can simply use the point-slope formula to find the equation:

---Point-Slope Formula---

where is the slope, and

is the given point

So lets use the Point-Slope Formula to find the equation of the line

Plug in , , and (these values are given)

Distribute

Multiply and to get

Add 2 to both sides

Subtract 7x from both sides.

Combine and rearrange the terms.

Multiply EVERY term by -1 to make the "x" coefficient positive.

Answer:

So the equation in standard form is where , and
