Write the standard form of the line through (-8,2) and has slope m= -3/7

Point-slope form of equation: y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+m%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

y+-+2+=+%28-3%2F7%29%2A%28x+-+-+8%29

y+-+2+=+%28-3%2F7%29%2A%28x+%2B+8%29

y+-+2+=+%28-3%2F7%29x+-+%2824%2F7%29

y+=+%28-3%2F7%29x+-+%2824%2F7%29+%2B+2

y+=+%28-3%2F7%29x+-+%2824%2F7%29+%2B+%2814%2F7%29

y+=+%28-3%2F7%29x+-+%2810%2F7%29

7y = - 3x - 10 ---- Multiplying by LCD, 7

highlight_green%283x+%2B+7y+=+-+10%29
