Find the equation of the line passing through the points (-2,5) and (3/2, 2). Express the answer in standard form.
The slope of the line is 2−51.5+2=−67
Plugging this into slope-intercept form, we have: 357=127+b, meaning the y-intercept is 237
Thus, our equation is: y=−67x+237
To convert it to standard form, add 67x to both sides, giving us: y+67x=237
Multiply this by 7, giving us: 7y+6x=23
