Answer:

y - 7 = - 4(x + 2)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

given slope m = - 4 and (a, b ) = (- 2, 7 )

substitute these values into the equation

y - 7 = - 4(x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 7 = - 4(x + 2) ← equation in point- slope form
