Convert the equation: y+7=-2(x-3) into slope-intercept form.

That form above is point-slope. It can easily be rewritten into the form y = mx+b, slope-intercept. Distribute the -2 into the parenthesis first to get
y+7=-2x+6. Then solve for y: y = -2x + 6 - 7 and y = -2x - 1. That is the slope-intercept form of that line.
