Im really struggling guys please help
write an equation of the line through (-2,-2) having slope 17/3. Give the answer in standard form

peachpi · Answer

start by writing the equation in point slope form
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

$(x_1,y_1)$ is the given point and m is the slope.
Can you plug your numbers into that equation?

mathmale · Answer

Note well:  the x and y in the above formula are variables, part of the equation of this straight line; leave them as x and y.  What is the slope of this line?  In other words, what is the value of m?  Subst. this value of m for m in the equation above.
Show your work, please.  What's the next step?
