Answer:

y = x - 7

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

y =) Will still be y =

mx) m is the slope, so we need to figure out our slope using
(rise)/(run)

- We need to pick out two points

- I am going to pick (0, -7) & (1, -6)

- If look at them there is a 1 rise and a 1 run (basically, it goes up 1 and over 1)

- This means our slope is
(1)/(1) which can be turned into 1, when we put this with x we get 1x which can become x

+ b ) This is the place on the y-axis where the line intercepts it

- When we look on the graph we can see this is - 7

So putting all the parts together results in y = x - 7 which is our answer :))

Hopefully this helps, have a nice day! :D
