Answer:
y= -5x-13
Explanation:
start with the linear equation
y= mx+b
indentify what you already have.
x= -4 and y= 7 and m(slope)= -5
We are solving for b, so plug in what you have.
7= -5(-4)+b
Simplify.
7= 20+b
Subtract 20 on both sides.
-13= b
Rewrite your equation with the x and y values.
y= -5x-13
