hello!

=====================================================

We're given:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{Slope:-~2;~y-intercept:-~-7}}

To find:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{equation~of~the~line}}

Solution:-

Notice that we're asked to write the line's equation in slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept looks like so:


\bigstar{\boxed{y=mx+b}

where m -> slope & b -> y-intercept

Oh wow, it's really easy now, because we should just plug in the values:-


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{\maltese{y=2x-7}}}}

=================================================

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
