First, let's find the slope of the line using the formula
(y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1), where
(x_1, y_1) and
(x_2, y_2) are points on the line.


The equation for the slope of this line would be:


((7)/(5) - (6)/(5))/(-(3)/(5) - (2)/(5)) = ((1)/(5))/(-1) = -(1)/(5)


Now, let's find use the point-slope equation to find an equation for our line, which is
(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1), where
(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line and
m is the slope. The point-slope equation for our line would be:


(y - (6)/(5)) = -(1)/(5)(x - (2)/(5))


y - (6)/(5) = -(1)/(5)x + (2)/(25)


y = -(1)/(5)x + (32)/(25)


The slope-intercept form of the line would be y = -x/5 + 32/25.


Now, we can use operations to convert this equation into standard form:


25y = -5x + 32


5x + 25y = 32


The standard form of the line would be 5x + 25y = 32.
