Answer:
[tex]y = -\frac{3}{5} x -7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, we need to find our slope!
We have two points, (-5, -4) and (0,-7).
We can see that our line has to go down 3 and right 5.
Because the line is going down and right, we will have a negative slope.
Using the slope formula [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex], we can input our trackings and have a slope of [tex]\frac{-3}{5}[/tex].
Next, we need to find our y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis. As it crosses the y-axis at -7, -7 is our y-intercept!
Now we can plug our data into slope-intercept form, y=mx+b!
[tex]y = -\frac{3}{5} x -7[/tex]
