Answer:

1. [tex]-5x+3y+44=0[/tex]

2. [tex]2x+y-2=0[/tex]

3. [tex]2x+y-4=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a line is [tex]Ax+By+C=0[/tex].

If a line passing through two points then the equation of line is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where, m is slope, i.e.,[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex].

1.

The line passes through the points (7,-3) and (4,-8). So, the equation of line is

[tex]y-(-3)=\dfrac{-8-(-3)}{4-7}(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]y+3=\dfrac{-5}{-3}(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]y+3=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]3(y+3)=5(x-7)[/tex]

[tex]3y+9=5x-35[/tex]

[tex]-5x+3y+9+35=0[/tex]

[tex]-5x+3y+44=0[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]-5x+3y+44=0[/tex].

2.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to [tex]2 x + y =-5[/tex].

Slope of the line : [tex]m=\dfrac{-\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}=\dfrac{-2}{1}=-2[/tex]

Slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (0,2).

Equation of line is

[tex]y-2=-2(x-0)[/tex]

[tex]y-2=-2x[/tex]

[tex]2x+y-2=0[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]2x+y-2=0[/tex].

3.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has an x-intercept of 2 and is parallel to [tex]2x + y =-5[/tex].

From part 2, the slope of this line is -2. So, slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (2,0).

Equation of line is

[tex]y-0=-2(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y=-2x+4[/tex]

[tex]2x+y-4=0[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]2x+y-4=0[/tex].
