Question 433296
Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point.  Express your answerin the form x = a, y = b, or y = mx + b.
m = -7, (5,0)


Point-slope form can be used to get the equation of a line, 
when given a point and a slope.
y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form


(5,0), m = -7
y - 0 = -7(x - 5) {substituted into point-slope form}
y = -7x + 35 {used distributive property}


y = -7x + 35 is the equation of the line in "slope-intercept form"
7x + y = 35 is the equation of the line in "standard form"
