Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"point-slope form" # is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y-y_1=m(x-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and# (x_1,y_1)" a point on the line"#
#"here "m=-5" and " (x_1,y_1)=(7,2)# substitute these values into the equation.
#y-2=-5(x-7)larrcolor(red)" in point-slope form"#
