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
