The equation of the line is
5x+y-38=0

Explanation:

The slope is
m=-5

Also, the line passes through the points
(7,3)

To find a line with slope
m=-5 that passes through the points
(7,3), let us use the equation of a line with slope that passes through the point is given by
(y-y_(1) )=m(x-x_(1) ) where m is the slope and
(x_(1) ,y_(1) ) are the points
(7,3).

Thus, substituting the values in the equation of a line, we get,


(y-3)=-5(x-7)

Multiplying the term
(x-7) by -5, we get,


y-3=-5 x+35

Adding both sides by 5x,


5x+y-3=35

Subtracting 35 from both sides of the equation,


5x+y-38=0

Thus, the equation of the line is
5x+y-38=0
