to get the equation of any straight line, we only need two points off of it, hmmm let's use the points in the picture below.


(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{0}}}\implies \cfrac{-7}{1}\implies -7 \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-7}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0}) \\\\\\ y-5=-7x\implies y=-7x+5
