I'll do the first problem to get you started.

If you want to find the equation of line with a given a slope of which goes through the point (5,2), 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 to isolate y

Combine like terms and to get

Now subtract 7x from both sides.

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

Answer:

So the equation of the line, in standard form, with a slope of which goes through the point (5,2) is
