You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since slope (m) = 7
You can use one of the following method: slope-yintercept form of the y-intercept method.
For now I'll do the slope-yinercept form : y=mxb

Pick y to be 5 and x to be -2
Sub in the known values and solve for b

5=7(-2)+b
5=-14+b
b = 19

Hence the equation for the slope is y=7x+14.
