Answer:
y=-(4)/(5)x-(38)/(5)

Explanation:

To find the equation, you plug in the slope and given point. Then, you can solve and find the y-intercept.


-2=-(4)/(5)(-7)+b [multiply]


-2=(28)/(5)+b [subtract both sides by
(28)/(5)]


b=-(38)/(5)

Now that we have the y-intercept, the equation is
y=-(4)/(5)x-(38)/(5).
