Answer:

y=-5/7x-3

Explanation:

so, we need the equation to be in y=mx+b form.

The equation right now is 5x+7y=-21 in standard form.

We need to isolate y onto one side

Here's the equation:

5x+7y=-21

subtract 5x from both sides

7y=-5x-21

divide by 7

y=-5/7x-21/7

simplify

y=-5/7x-3

Hope this helps! :)
