Question 545737
Write the standard form of the line through (-8,2) and has slope m= -3/7


Point-slope form of equation: {{{y - y[1] = m(x - x[1])}}}


{{{y - 2 = (-3/7)*(x - - 8)}}}


{{{y - 2 = (-3/7)*(x + 8)}}}


{{{y - 2 = (-3/7)x - (24/7)}}}


{{{y = (-3/7)x - (24/7) + 2}}}


{{{y = (-3/7)x - (24/7) + (14/7)}}}


{{{y = (-3/7)x - (10/7)}}}


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


{{{highlight_green(3x + 7y = - 10)}}}
