Answer 1

y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation will be expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0) where;

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given

Slope m = 3/7

Point (x0, y0) = (7, -2)

Substitute into the equation;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

y - (-2) = 3/7 (x - 7)

y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)

Hence the equation in point-slope form is y + 2 = 3/7(x-7)
