The slope of the line is (diff in y-coord)/(diff in x-coord) = (7-3)/(1+2) = 4/3
So the equation of the line is of the form y = 4/3*x + c where c is a constant to be determined
Equivalently, 3y = 4x + c' where c' is (another) constant to be determined.
The point (1,7) is on this line so 3*7 = 4*1 + c' ie c' = 21-4 = 17
So the equation of the line is 3y = 4x + 17

Choose the equation of a line that is parallel to y 3x - 2 and passes through the point -1-6?
y = 3x - 3
Which is the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point -1 5?
