I'm assuming you're asking for an equation that, when displayed on a graph, crosses through the given point with the given slope. If not, disregard this answer.

Answer:


y - 3 = -(5)/(7) (x + 2)

Explanation:

To form an equation for a line when only given a point and a slope, the point-slope equation form is used. It is as follows:


y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1)), with
y_(1) and
x_(1) being the
y and
x values of the given point respectively, and
m being the given slope.

Taking our given values and inserting them into the point-slope formula gives us our line equation that satisfies these values:


y - 3 = -(5)/(7) (x + 2)

Answer:

Find the value of bb using the formula for the equation of a line.Tap for more steps

...b=−7b=-7

Now that the values of mm (slope) and bb (y-intercept) are known, substitute them into y=mx+by=mx+b to find the equation of the line.y=5x−7y=5x-7

Explanation:

Hope this helps!
