Answer: y= -3/7x + 3

Explanation:

I used some graph paper for this, mark the two points and use a ruler to connect the lines. y=-3/7x is slope, and 3 is the y intercept.

Answer:

3x + 7y -2=0

Explanation:

Two points are given to us and we need to find the Equation of the line passing through the two points . The points are (0,3) and (7,0) . We can use here two point form of the line as ,


\implies y-y_1 = (y_2-y_1 )/(x_2-x_1) ( x - x_1) \\\\\implies y - 3 =(3-0)/(0-7)(x - 0 ) \\\\\implies y - 3 =(-3)/(7)x \\\\\implies 7y - 2 = -3x \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{3x + 7y -2 = 0 }}
