Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf y = -2x - 3}$

Explanation:

m = -2

y = mx + c

(x,y) = (-5,7)

So, x = -5, y = 7

To find c, Put the values of x, y and m in the slope-intercept form.

7 = (-2)(-5) + c

7 = 10 + c

7 - 10 = c

-3 = c

c = -3

Now, put the values of m and c in the slope intercept form.

y = -2x - 3
