The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is y plus 7 equals negative startfraction 2 over 5 endfraction left-parenthesis x minus 10 right-parenthesis.. what is the standard form of the equation for this line?
2x – 5y = –15
2x – 5y = –17
2x + 5y = –15
2x + 5y = –17

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
