y=-5x-7

$\rightsquigarrow\circ\boldsymbol{Explanation}\circ\leftharpoonup$

For this question we will use the slope intercept form equation, because we are provided with the slope and the y-intercept.

The slope intercept form equation is $\large\textsf{y=mx+c}$. In this formula m denotes the slope and c denotes the y-intercept.

Since we have both m and b, we can stick them into the formula. Upon doing this we obtain

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf y=-5x+(-7)$

$\bullet$ Simplify

$\twoheadrightarrow\sf y=-5x-7$

$\bullet$ Great job! We found the equation

Answer 2

Answer:

y=(-5x)+(-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is y=mx+b

so you would say -5x as the mx in the equation and -7 as the u intercept.
