Find the equation of the line

Find the equation of the line which has a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 7.

---

Slope-Intercept Form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

Just substitute the slope and y-intercept into slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b  {slope-intercept form}
y = -5x + 7   {substituted -5 for the slope and 7 for the y-intercept}
