You can put this solution on YOUR website! first find the slope of7x-9y=4 rearrange in the form of y=mx+b ,m=slope
 9y=7x-4
 y=7/9x-4/9
 slope=m=7/9
 thus y-y1=slope(x-x1) is the formula to find equation of a line containing a point (x1,y1) and have a slope m
 here (x1,y1)=(7,2)
 and slope=7/9
 y-2=7/9(x-7)
 9y-18=7x-49
 9y=7x-49+18
 9y=7x-31
 there for 9y=7x-31 is the required equation line
