The point-slope form for the line is y + 6 = m(x + 7)

The point-slope form for a line passing through the point (-7, -6) with slope m is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting the values into the formula:

y - (-6) = m(x - (-7))

Simplifying the equation:

y + 6 = m(x + 7)

Therefore, the correct point-slope form for the line is y + 6 = m(x + 7).
