Answer:

d. y = -⁷/6x - 7

Explanation:

✔️First, find the slope (m) using two points on the line, (-6, 0) and (0, -7):

Slope (m) = change in y/change in x

Slope (m) = (-7 - 0)/(0 - (-6))

Slope (m) = -7/6

✔️Determine the y-intercept (b):

The line intercepts the y-axis at -7. Therefore,

b = -7.

✅To write the equation, substitute m = -⁷/6 and b = -7 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = -⁷/6x + (-7)

y = -⁷/6x - 7
