Answer:
y - 4 = -3/5(x - 2)
or
y - 7 = -3/5(x - (-3))
Explanation:
In this question, we have to write an equation in standard form with the given information.
Standard form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
First, find the slope using m = y2-y1/x2-x1:
Plug in coordinates and solve:
4 - 7/2 -(-3)
-3/2+3
m = -3/5
Now we know what our "m" value is on the equation.
You can simply use one of the coordinates and plug the values into the equation to get it in standard form. In this case, we will use the (2, 4) coordinate.
y - 4 = -3/5(x - 2) <- This is one applicable answer.
Your other answer could be y - 7 = -3/5(x - (-3))
