Question

Determine the equation of the line passing through
the point (-7, 4) and having the slope : -3/7


Ans. : 3x + 7y=7​

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+7y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the line is

y=mx+c

here m=-3/7

so equation becomes

y=-3/7x+c

it passes through(-7,4)

so 4=(-3/7)(-7)+c

4=3+c

c=4-3=1

hence the equation of line is:

y=-3/7x+1

7y=-3x+1

3x+7y=1
