By using two arbitrary points on the line, we can find the slope using the slope formula:
We'll use the points (0, 4) and (5, 1) for this.
1 - 4 / 5 - 0
-3 / 5
The slope of the line is -3/5.
Write the equation in standard form. 3x−9=7y

Answer:
y=-3x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b is the formula you are going to end up once completed.
This, by given two points:
(4,-5) (3,-2)
= Point-Slope Intercept Form
= After subtracting both from above
-3 = is your slope, decreasing.
Substitute -3 for y=mx+b
y=-3x+b
Use one of the given points (any) to find what b equals.
(4,-5)
x y
-5=-3(4)+b
-5= -12+b
7=b
Final Equation:
y=-3x+7
