Answer:

3x + 7y = 21

Explanation:

We have value of two points (0,3) and (7,0)

First, let's find the slope of this line. The formula for slope is:

Change in y/Change in x or (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

Where x₁ = 0 x₂= 7 y₁ = 3 y₂ = 0

(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

= (0-3)/(7-0)

=-3/7

Now we can write the equation in point-slope form:

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y - 3 = -3/7(x-0)

y-3=-3x/7

y=-3x/7 + 3

Now let's convert this to standard form, by making the y-intercept by itself:

Ax + By = C

y=-3x/7 + 3

Multiply through by 7

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

7y = -3x + 21

3x + 7y = 21
