Answer 2

-3x + 5y = -24

Explanation:

The slope = (-9-(-6) / (-7 - (-2)

= -3 / -5

= 3/5.

Using the point-slope form of a straight line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-9) = 3/5(x - -7)

y + 9 = 3/5(x + 7)

Multiply through by 5:

5y + 45 = 3(x + 7)

5y + 45 = 3x + 21

-3x + 5y = -24 is the required equation.
