The equation of a straight line in slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept.

From the information given,

x = - 2, y = 7 and m = - 3

We would solve for c by substituting these values into the eqation. It becomes

7 = - 3 * - 2 + c

7 = 6 + c

c = 7 - 6

c = 1

Therefore, the equation in slope- intercept form for the line is

y = - 3x + 1
