hello

so the image is a bit blurry for me but i'll do my best. if any of my numbers are wrong just change it and re-calculate.

first we want to find the slope which we can do using
m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1))

so our (
x_(1),y_(1)) would be (0,-7) (
x_(2),y_(2)) would be (5,-10)

when we input it into the slope equation we should get m=(-10+7)/(5-0)=-3/5

slope intercept form is: y=mx+b

our b, or y-intercept, is -7 as that is the point the line crosses the y-axis

so if we input everything we should get: y=(-3/5)x-7

hope this helps

have a nice day :)
