I need to write the equation of the​ line, with the given​ properties, in​ slope-intercept form

Question

the slope = −7​, through ​(−5​,4​) apparently

Answer 1

Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

where

m = slope

x1 and y1 are coordinates of point

In this case;

m = - 7 , x1 = - 5 , y1 = 4

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 4 = - 7 [ x - ( - 5 ) ]

y - 4 = - 7 ( x + 5 )
