Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. Express your answerin the form x = a, y = b, or y = mx + b.
\n" ); document.write( "m = -7, (5,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Point-slope form can be used to get the equation of a line,
\n" ); document.write( "when given a point and a slope.
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(5,0), m = -7
\n" ); document.write( "y - 0 = -7(x - 5) {substituted into point-slope form}
\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x + 35 {used distributive property}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -7x + 35 is the equation of the line in \"slope-intercept form\"
\n" ); document.write( "7x + y = 35 is the equation of the line in \"standard form\"
