Answer:
-7x + 4y = +42
Step-by-step explanation:
Going from point (2, -7) to point (6, 0), x increases by 4 and y increases by 7. Thus, the slope of the line in question is m = 7/4.
Starting from the equation y = mx + b, and subbing (7/4) for m, 6 for x and 0 for y, we get:
0 = (7/4)(6) + b. Then b = 42/4, or 21/2. Thus, we now have y = (7/4)x + 21/2.
We must put this into "standard form." Multiplying all three terms by 4, we get:
4y = 7x + 42. Rearranging these terms to fit the "standard form" equation Ax + By = C, we get:
-7x + 4y = +42
