The linear equation can be written as:

y + 12 = 7*(x + 2)

How to find the equation of this line?

A line with a slope m and that passes through a point (x₁, y₁) can be written in the slope-point form as follows:

y - y₁ = m*(x - x₁)

Here we know that the slope of the line is 7, and it passes through the point (-2, -12), then we can write this line as:

y + 12 = 7*(x + 2)
