Find an equation of the line with the given slope that passes through the given point. Write the equation in the form Ax + By = C. The problem is m = - 5, (-2,-7) slope = -5, (-2,-7)
substitute into point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) y - (-7) = -5(x - (-2) y + 7 = -5(x + 2) {minus negative is plus} y + 7 = -5x - 10 {distributive property} 5x + y = -17 {add 5x and subtract 7 from both sides to get into standard form} - Algebra House
