So first we want to find the slope of the line.
Rise / Run = (4 - 0)/(7 - 2) = 4/5
So our line is going to be some form of y = 4/5x + B
(2, 0) is a point on the line, so lets plug in 2 for x and 0 for y and solve for B.
0 = 4/5(2) + B
B = -8/5
So the line is y = 4/5x - 8/5, which can be turned into y - 4/5x + 8/5 = 0.Except the answer is 4x-5y-8=0
You need to use a form of the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) I believe
