What is the equation of the line having slope 4/7 and passing through the point (-3,1) in standard form?
\n" ); document.write( "You are given a slope (m) and a point (x1,y1) and are being asked for the equation of a line, so you need to use the point-slope formula.\"highlight%28y-y1=m%28x-x1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form of a line is \"highlight%28Ax%2BBy=C%29\" A,B, and C are integers and in most books A is positive.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Your slope(m)=4/7 and your point (x1,y1)=(-3,1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=%284%2F7%29%28x-%28-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-1=%284%2F7%29%28x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%28y-1%29=7%284%2F7%29%28x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7y-7=cross%287%29%284%2Fcross%287%29%29%28x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7y-7=4%28x%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7y-7=4x%2B12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4x%2B7y-7=-4x%2B4x%2B12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4x%2B7y-7%2B7=12%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-4x%2B7y=19\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-%28-4x%2B7y%29=-%2819%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-7y=-19\"
