Answer:

y = -5x + 7

Explanation:

The question gives you the slope and the y-intercept. You can use slope-intercept form of a line to answer this.

The general equation of slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept

It says the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is 7. so we get

y = -5x + 7
