Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form. Slope is -2, and (9,7) is on the line.

y = -2x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard equation can be in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

Plug in the given slope.

y = -2x + b

To find b, plug in the given point (9, 7).

7 = -2(9) + b

Multiply.

7 = -18 + b

Add 18 to both sides to find b.

25 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -2x + 25

Check by plugging in the given point again.

7 = -2(9) + 25

7 = -18 + 25

7 = 7

Your answer is correct!

Hope this helps!
