y-7=-9%28x-2%29 Start with the given equation.


y-7=-9x%2B%28-9%29%28-2%29 Distribute


y-7=-9x%2B18 Multiply -9 and -2 to get 18


y=-9x%2B18%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


9x%2By=18%2B7 Add 9x to both sides.


9x%2By=25 Combine like terms.


So the equation is now in standard form Ax%2BBy=C where A=9, B=1, and C=25

y - 7 = -9(x - 2)
y - 7 = -9x + 18
y = -9x + 25
