Hello there! (:

The equation of the line is y=-7x-2.

As we can see, this equation is written in slope-intercept form, which looks like so:

y=mx+b

Where

m is the slope (In this case, it's -7)

b is the y-intercept (-2)

Therefore, the slope of the line is -7 and the y-intercept is -2.

Hope it helps.
