Write the equation of a line that passes a given point and has the given slope. Answer in standard form. 1. Point (-3,5), m = -7 2. Point (4,7), m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation can be used for this. It is generally written as ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

1. For m=-7, (h, k) = (-3, 5), the equation is ...

  y -5 = -7(x +3)

__

2. For m=0, (h, k) = (4, 7), the equation is ...

  y -7 = 0(x -4)

  y = 7

Comment on the form of the answer

Since a point and slope are given, "the equation" is appropriately written in point-slope form. For the second problem the simplified version would be ...

  y -7 = 0

Sometimes, "the equation" means the answer is expected in slope-intercept form. In that case, a little rearranging is necessary for the first answer. It becomes ...

  y = -7x -16

There are perhaps a dozen different forms that a linear equation can be written in. Considering those, "the equation" is somewhat ambiguous. Your curriculum materials may offer a clue as to the form intended.
