Question 75677: Write a equation in standard form for the line that passes through the point (-3,7) and has a slope of -4/5
S0 FAR I HAVE THIS BUT THEN I GET STUCK!
I PUT IT IN POINT SLOPE FORM:y--3=-4/5[x-7]
THEN i get stuck there
CAN y0U PL3AS3 H3Lp M3?!!?!?
PLEASE && THANK y0U!!
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Plug in the given slope and the point (you're on the right track but you mixed up your x and y point)
Distribute the (4/5)
Multiply
Add 7 to both sides
Subtract from both sides
Multiply both sides by the LCD (which is 5) to clear the denominators
So the equation in standard form is:
Where A=-4, B=5,C=47
If you want A>0 then it equals:
Where A=4, B=-5,C=-47
