Answer:

-x+y=-5

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, let's find the slope.

(2,-3) and (7,2)

We would use the formula Y2 - Y1 ÷ X2 - X1

2 - (-3) / 7 - (2)

5/5

1

The slope would be 1. In order to find the standard form, we would need to find the slope-intercept.

Plug in any 1 of the 2 points that are given into y=mx+b, with m being 1 (We found this doing the slope formula earlier)

2=1(7)+b

2=7+b

-5=b

y=x-5

To change this to standard form, just subtract x on both sides.

-x+y=-5

Hope this helps!
