How to turn point slope form into general form

3x+7y+5=0

Step 1:

Isolate y

To isolate 7 we need to move 7y over to the other side of the equals sign.

3x+5=-7y

It will become negative because you have to subtract it from one side and bring it to the other.

Step 2:

Make the y’s base 1

To do that you need to divide everything by y’s current base which is -7

3x/-7+5/-7=y

This should be your final product if no more simplifying can be done.
