Step 1: Write the original equation.
-
y-(-3) = 7/4 (X-5)
Step 2: Distribute the 7/4 (and change the y-(-3)).
2. y+3 = 7/4X - 35/4
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides (change it into the common fraction 12/4).
3. y = 7/4X -35/4 - 12/4 -47/4 ---> -35/4 - 12/4 = -47/4
Step 4: Final, simplified equation in slope-intercept form.
4. y = 7/4X - 47/4
