Answer:

The answer is y=7x-15

Explanation:

The formula for slope is y=mx+b where m is the slope, or the rate of change, and b is the y-intercept, or the initial value, which is the point where x=0.

The rate of change, or slope, is 7, so m will be replaced with 7.

-15 is the y-intercept, so b will be replaced with -15.

Therefore, the slope-intercept form is y=7x-15.
