Answer:

y = 7x - 6

Explanation:

Here's what we know...

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y - intercept.

The two points I choose were (1 , 1) and (-6 , 0)

y-intercept = -6

Now, the only thing we need to find is slope

We can find slope using the formula rise/run (rise over run).

RISE = -7

RUN = -1

-7/-1, the negatives cancel each other out so we are left with 7/1 or 7

The only thing left to do is to input our values into our variables.

y = 7x - 6

Hope this Helps! :)
