Answer:

y - 1.4x = - 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation: find the slope, use point-slope form to calculate the equation, then convert the equation to standard form.

Slope: [tex]\frac{45-31}{37-27} = \frac{14}{10} = 1.4[/tex]

Use point slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Plug in x = 27, y = 31, and m = 1.4

y - 31 = 1.4(x - 27)

y - 31 = 1.4x - 37.8

y = 1.4x - 6.8

Convert this into standard form: ax + by = c

y - 1.4x = - 6.8
