Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Point slope form: y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y₁ = 6

x₁ = -7

y - 6 = -1 (x - [-7])

y - 6 = -1 (x + 7)

y - 6 = -1x - 7

Add 6 to both sides

y = -1x - 1 or y = -x -1

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = -1

b = 6

y = -1x + 6 or y = -x + 6

Standard form: Ax + By = C

Change slope intercept form into _x + _y = c

Slope intercept form: y = -x + 6

Standard form:

y = -x + 6

Add x to both sides

x + y = 6 or -x - y = -6

Hope I helped!
