1. in point slope form
point (5, 2) and a slope m=-7%2F-3=7%2F3, and plug it into this formula:

y+-y1+=+m%28x-x1%29

y+-2+=+%287%2F3%29%28x-5%29

y+-2+=+%287%2F3%29x-5%287%2F3%29

y+-2+=+%287%2F3%29x-35%2F3
B. in slope-intercept form: y+-2+=+%287%2F3%29x-35%2F3 solve for y
y+=+%287%2F3%29x-35%2F3%2B2

y+=+%287%2F3%29x-35%2F3%2B6%2F3

y+=+%287%2F3%29x-29%2F3
y+=+2.33x-9.67...... in slope-intercept form
C. in standard form

-+2.33x%2By+=-9.67
