Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear function. Standard form for a linear function is
Ax + By = C
Begin by distributing to get rid of the parenthesis:
y + 5 = 7x - 56
Now combine the constants on the right side:
y = 7x -61 That's slope-intercept form, but to get it into standard, move the 7x over to the y side:
-7x + y = -61
If you don't like to lead with a negative, you can simply just change ALL the signs:
7x - y = 61
