Answer:

y = 13/7x - 13

Explanation:

We are given the x-intercept of (7, 0) and the y-intercept of (0, -13). We can solve for the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ] and the points given.

-13-0/0-7

-13/-7

13/7

We can write the equation in slope-intercept form which is [ y = mx + b ] where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We are already solved for the slope and was given the y-intercept so we can fill it into the formula.

y = 13/7x - 13

Best of Luck!
