Answer

Point-Slope Form: $ y-0=-\dfrac{7}{3}(x-0) $ Standard Form: $ 7x+3y=0 $

Work Step by Step

With the given points, $(0,0)$ and $(3,-7)$, then \begin{align*} y_1&= 0 ,\\y_2&= -7 ,\\x_1&= 0 ,\text{ and }\\ x_2&= 3 .\end{align*} Using $m=\dfrac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$ or the Slope Formula, the slope, $m,$ of the line is \begin{align*} m&=\dfrac{0-(-7)}{0-3} \\\\&= \dfrac{0+7}{0-3} \\\\&= \dfrac{7}{-3} \\\\&= -\dfrac{7}{3} .\end{align*} The slope, $m,$ is $m=-\dfrac{7}{3}$. Using $ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $ or the Point-Slope form of linear equations, with $m=-\dfrac{7}{3}$ and using one of the given points, $(0,0),$ then \begin{align*} y-0&=-\dfrac{7}{3}(x-0) .\end{align*} A Point-Slope Form of the given conditions is $ y-0=-\dfrac{7}{3}(x-0) $. Using $ax+by=c$ or the Standard Form of linear equations, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{align*} y-0&=-\dfrac{7}{3}(x-0) \\\\ y&=-\dfrac{7}{3}x \\\\ 3(y)&=\left(-\dfrac{7}{3}x\right)3 \\\\ 3y&=-7x \\ 3y+7x&=-7x+7x \\ 7x+3y&=0 .\end{align*} The standard form is $ 7x+3y=0 $.
