(-1,5);m=-4/7
y = mx b
plug x,y & m
5= (-4/7)*-1)+b
5=4/7 +b
5-4/7 =b
31/7 =b
..
y= -4/7 *x +31/7
*7
7y=-4x+31
..
4x+7y-31=0

this is a real easy question it's giving you a point in which the line passes through, and it's giving you it's slope. So all you have to do is plug in your info in the ewuation you are given.
so plug in
y-5=-4/7(x-(-1))
y-5=-4/7(x+1)
y-5=4/7x-4/7
+5.......+5
(((((y= 4/7x+31/7)))) then change it into standered form so move the 4/7x with the (y) so both varubales are in the same side.
<<<<<<>>>>> this is your answer :D
