the answer Y=7x there is no be term in the slope equation that you plug the numbers into if you need to show work let me know

So, in order to find an equation of a line, first we need to find the slope.

To find the slope, we will use the following equation

(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

So, when we plug our numbers in we get

(7-0)/(1-0) = (7)/(1) =7

So, we now know our slope is 7. Now we can use slope-intercept since the Y-intercept is already given (0,0)

Slope intercept form has the following general formula

Y=mx+b

M is the slope, and b is the Y-intercept.

So, we get

$Y=7x+0\\Y=7x$

Y=7x is the equation
