Best, as in meaning simplest?

y=mx+b
b is the y-intercept like point (0,b).
m is the slope.

Directly substituting your given data,
y=7x-1

slope intercept form: y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is a y-intercept
the best equation for a line with a slope of m=7 and a y-intercept of -1 (in slope intercept form)
y=7x-1
