For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:


y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis.

According to the statement data we have:


m = \frac {7} {3}

Thus, the equation is of the form:


y = \frac {7} {3} x + b

We substitute the given point and find the cut-off point:


- \frac {35} {3} = \frac {7} {3} (0) + b\\- \frac {35} {3} = b

Finally, the equation is:


y = \frac {7} {3} x- \frac {35} {3}

We manipulate algebraically to obtain the standard form:

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:


3y = 7x-35\\3y-7x = -35

We multiply by -1 on both sides:


7x-3y = 35

Answer:


7x-3y = 35
