Answer:

D. y = -1/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line passing through point (h, k) with slope m can be written ...

y = m(x -h) +k

Filling in your given values, the equation is ...

y = -1/5(x -(-3)) +7

y = -1/5x -3/5 +7 . . . . eliminate parentheses

y = -1/5x +32/5 . . . . . combine constants
