Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

The formula to calculate the equation of a line is given below as

given one point and the slope of the line


\begin{gathered} m=(y-y_1)/(x-x_1) \\ m=slope=(2)/(3) \\ (x_1,y_1=(-7,7) \end{gathered}

By substitutng the values, we will have


\begin{gathered} m=(y-y_(1))/(x-x_(1)) \\ (2)/(3)=(y-7)/(x-(-7)) \\ (2)/(3)=(y-7)/(x+7) \\ cross\text{ muliply, we will have} \\ 2(x+7)=3(y-7) \\ 2x+14=3y-21 \\ collect\text{b similar terms, we will have} \\ 2x-3y=-21-14 \\ 2x-3y=-35 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The final answer is


2x-3y=-35

The THIRD OPTION is the correct answer
