Answer:

4x + y = 15

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 4 , then

y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (2, 7 ) into the partial equation

7 = - 4(2) + c = - 8 + c ( add 8 to both sides )

15 = c

y = - 4x + 15

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

then

y = - 4x + 15 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + y = 15 ← in standard form
