Question 719280: Please please please help! The problem is:
Write and equation in standard form of the line that passes through (7,-3) and has a y-intercept of 2.
I put (incorrectly) my answer as 2=7x-3. Can you help?
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In the first place, your line does not have a 
-intercept of 2. A -intercept is a point and a point is designated by an ordered pair. -intercepts have the feature that the 
-coordinate is zero. So, presuming that you (or your instructor) actually meant to say that the -coordinate of the -intercept is 2, then the -intercept is the point )
Now use the two-point form of an equation whose solution set is a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line:
(x\ -\ x_1) )
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points.
Do the indicated arithmetic and then rearrange the equation so that it is in 
form. Some teachers/professors/instructors/textbook authors demand that 
, 
, and 
be integers to be proper Standard Form.
