Find the equation of the line passing through the point (1, 7) with a slope of -2.
y = -2x + 7
y = -2x + 5
y = 1x + 7
y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line in point slope form is equal to

In this problem we have

substitute

Convert to slope intercept form

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
