Answer 1

y = -12x - 77

Explanation:

The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the coordinate (-7, 7) and (-6, -5).

m = -5-7/-6+7

m = -12/1

m = -12

Get the intercept b

Substitute m= -12 and (-7 7) into y = mx+b

7 = -12(-7) + b

7 = 84 + b

b = 7 - 84

b = -77

Get the required equation

y = mx+b

y = -12x +(-77)

y = -12x - 77

This gives the required equation
