To write the equation, we will first need to find the intercept

To find the intercept, substitute x= 3 y=7 m = 7 into

y =mx + b and then solve for b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

7 = 7(3) + b

7 = 21 + b

subtrcat 21 from both-side of the equation

7 - 21 = b

-14 = b

b = -14

To form the equation, simply substitute; m = 7 and b = -14

into y =mx + b

Hence, the equation is :

y = 7x - 14
