Question 589820: Write a point-slope equation for the line with the given slope that contains the given point.
m =-4/3 ; (7, −1)
This is what I did -4/3=y-(-1)/(x-7)
-4/3=y+1/x-7
-4(x-7)=2(y+1)
-4x+28=2y+2
-4x=2y+2+28
-4x=2y+30
-2y=4x+30
-2y/-2=(4x+30)/-2
y=4x/-2+30/-2
y=-2x+-15
What did I do wrong here?

Question 592175: Hello! I tried using one of your solvers, but it did not work because there was not a subtraction option.
Anyways, I need to solve this system of equations by graphing;
2x - y = 5
x + 7 = 7
I did it by addition/subtraction AND substitution and got ( 3,4 ), but when using the Systems of Equations Graphing Solver, as I had stated, there was no subtraction option, so I could only use addition for my first system, thus making everything wrong. Please help me! I'm doing this for a project that is due TOMORROW and I need prompt help! It is the last part of the project, so I'm not very worried as I have created everything else correctly. Thank you for your time in advance!!
