Answer:

y = (1/7)x - 3

Explanation:

By inspection the y-intercept is found to be (0, -3). The slope is

increase in y - 3 - (-4)

m = --------------------- = --------------- = 1/7

increase in x 0 - (-7)

Thus, the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line is

y = mx + b, or y = (1/7)x - 3
