Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-1,5) and has a slope of -7. Your answer should be given in the form y = mx + b.

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + b

where

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

To find the equation of a line given a point and slope we use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question

Slope = - 7

The point is ( - 1 , 5)

So the equation of the line is

We have the final answer as
