There are several ways of writing a line's equation; the easiest one is slope intercept form -
`\sf y=mx+c}`.

In the slope intercept form equation, "m" denotes "gradient" or "slope" and "c" denotes "y-intercept".

So to determine the equation we should just plugin the values (-5 for slope, m, and -7 for y-intercept).

`\sf y=(-5)x+(-7)}`

Simplify!

`\sf y=-5x-7}`

That is the equation of the line. Great job! (:
