solve problem m=2/3 , (-3,7) in standard form

Question

how to solve this problem in standard form

Answer 1

What we have here is a point-slope problem, and we need to convert it into standard form.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Now we plug in the point and the value of m:

y - 7 = ²/₃(x - (-3))

y - 7 = ²/₃(x + 3)

y - 7 = ²/₃ x + 2

 

From here, just mathematically move the variables to one side of the equals sign and the constants to the other side, and you'll have it in standard form.
