Answer:

y= -4/3x+10 2/3

Explanation:

To do this, just put the equation in point slope form and then rearrange it to y=mx+b, or slope intercept form. Slope point form is arranged like this, y-y1=m(x-x1). Now, just insert in the variables (x1=x coordinate of point, y1= y coordinate of point, m=slope). So your equation is now y-20=-4/3(x-7), which simplifies to y-20=-4/3x-9 1/3. Now rearrange it so that y in by itself, and all like terms are combined, making it look like this: y=-4/3x+10 2/3. Now its in slope intercept form and you've got your answer.

I hope my explanation wasn't confusing and that my answer helped.
