Answer:

Explanation:

(
x_(1) ,
y_(1) )

(
x_(2) ,
y_(2) )

m =
(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )

y -
y_(1) = m( x -
x_(1) ) point - slope form of a line.

y = mx + b slope- intercept form of a line.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( - 2, - 7 )

( 0, - 4 )

m =
(- 4 - (-7))/(0 - (- 2)) =
(3)/(2)

y - ( - 4 ) =
(3)/(2) ( x - 0 )

y + 4 =
(3)/(2) x

y =
(3)/(2) x - 4 slope- intercept form

3x - 2y = 8 standard form
