Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

We are given that the slope is -7 and that the y-intercept is 7.

Slope - The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (where the y represents the rise (or fall) and the x represents the run).

The equation of a slope would look like this:
(y)/(x).

Since the slope is -7, we plug that in for y, which will be the fall. 1 will be the x.


-(7)/(1).

The y-intercept means its on the y-axis and since we are given the y-intercept is 7, we go up 7 units on the graph and place a dot.

From that point, we go down 7 units and right 1. Place a dot here. Continue doing this until you run off the page. Go back to (0, 7), and go up 7 and left 1. Place a dot here, then repeat the process.

This will be your line. (Look at picture)
