Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
m - slope
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-7, -5) and (-5, 4).
Calculate the slope:
Put it and coordinates of the point (-5, 4) to the equation:
→ <em>the point-slope form</em>
Convert to the standard form <em>Ax + By = C :</em>
<em>multiply both sides by 2</em>
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>add 8 to both sides</em>
<em>subtract 9x from both sides</em>
<em>change the signs</em>
→ <em>the standard form</em>
