To write the equation in point-slope form, you can use the formula:
\[
y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
\]
where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is the point the line passes through and \( m \) is the slope.
Given:
- Point \( (x_1, y_1) = (7, 5) \)
- Slope \( m = -3 \)
Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
\[
y - 5 = -3(x - 7)
\]
This is the equation in point-slope form that passes through the point (7, 5) with a slope of -3.
