Answer:

y = - 7x - 26

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 7, thus

y = - 7x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (- 5, 9) into the partial equation

9 = 35 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 35 = - 26

y = - 7x - 26 ← equation of line
