Answer:

Equation = y = -4x+7

See the graph below

Explanation:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is expressed as;

y = mx+c

Given

slope m = -4

y-intercept c = 7

Substitute

y = -4x + 7

Get the x intercept.

at y = 0

0 = -4x + 7

4x = 7

x = 7/4

x = 1.75

The x coordinate (1.75, 0)

Get the y intercept

at x = 0;

y = -4(0)+7

y = 0+7

y = 7

The y coordinate is (0, 7)
