Answer:

y - 13 = -2(x+7)

Explanation:

Given

Coordinate point (-7, 13)

Slope m = -2

We can express the euation of the line in point slope form as shown;

The point slope form of the equation is expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

x0 = -7, y0 = 13 and m = -2

Substitute;

y - 13 = -2(x-(-7))

y - 13 = -2(x+7)

Hence the required equation in point- slope form is y - 13 = -2(x+7)
