y = mx + b slope(m) = 7 (1,2)...x = 1 and y = 2 now we sub and find b, the y int 2 = 7(1) + b 2 = 7 + b 2 - 7 = b -5 = b
so ur equation is : y = 7x - 5...but we need it in standard form
y = 7x - 5....subtract 7x from both sides -7x + y = -5 ...some teachers allow this form, I prefer the first term to be positive.....so I would multiply by -1 and make it : 7x - y = 5
