First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
Plug in values:\frac{-5-7}{0-2} =  \frac{-12}{-2} = 6
Slope: 6
Second, we must plug into point-slope form. 
Formula for point-slope: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the values: y - 7 = 6(x-2)
Solve. 
y - 7 = 6(x-2) 

y - 7 = 6x - 12

Add 7 both sides. 

y = 6x - 5
So the equation is: y = 6x - 5

((-5) - 7) / (0-2) = slope because equation for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. Then the y-intercept is already given. So slope is -12/-2 = 6 so, y= mx + b, meaning mx is slope of -6x and b being -5. Therefore the equation is y = -6x - 5. Hope this helps!

I haven’t taken this since for a while so my memory’s a bit foggy but I’m pretty sure it’s B since it intersects at (0,0) so there wont be any other solution. I hope that helps (:
