Answer: y= -1x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation has to be in slope-intercept form which uses the formula
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
So we given the slope and an x and y coordinate so we will plot those numbers into the formula and solve for the y intercept to write the equation.
the x coordinate is -7 and the y coordinate is 2
2 = -1(-7) + b
2 = 7 + b
-7 -7
b = -5 the y intercept is -5
Now the equation will be y= -1x - 5
