Answer: y=-7/11x+27/11

Step-by-step explanation: Use the point-slope formula, y-y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.

Hope this helps you out! ☺

Answer:

Point slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

you first need to find the slope so you would go

y2-y1 over x2-x1

5+2 over -4+-7

7/-11= -7/11

Then you just plug it all in

y+2=-7/11(x-7)

You plug in your first point for the equation
