Answer:


y=7x-26

Explanation:

1) Write it in the slope-intercept form of
y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


y=7x +c

2) Substitute the given coordinates into
y=7x +b, and then solve for c.


9=7(5) +b\\9=35+b\\9-35=b\\b= -26

3) Substitute c into
y=7x +b


y=7x-26

Therefore, the answer is
y=7x-26.
