Question 125948
Use the slope-intercept form {{{y = mx + b}}}
{{{-3 = m*7 + 2}}}
{{{7m = -5}}}
{{{m = -(5/7)}}}
The whole equation is
{{{y = -(5/7)x + 2}}}
In standard form:
{{{(5/7)x + y - 2 = 0}}}
{{{5x + 7y - 14 = 0}}} answer
check:
does the line go through (7,-3)?
{{{5*7 + 7*(-3) - 14 = 0}}}
{{{35 - 21 - 14 = 0}}}
{{{35 - 35 = 0}}}
{{{0 = 0}}}
OK
