Answer:


y = (6)/(7)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:


Point 1: (-7, -7)\\Point 2: (7, -5)


(y_(2) - y_(1) )/(x_(2) - x_(1))


((-5) - (-7))/((-7) - (7))


(-12)/(-14)


(12)/(14)


m = (6)/(7)


y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))


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


y + 7 = (6)/(7)(x + 7)


y = (6)/(7)x + (42)/(7) - 7


y = (6)/(7)x + ((42)/(7) - (49)/(7))


y = (6)/(7)x - 1
