Know the slope-intercept equation form!
You are given the values to use, so nothing is tricky about how to make the graph.

slope = rise/run = -6/7
rise = -6 = go down 6
run = 7 = go right 7

Start at (0,7)
Move 6 units down and 7 units to the right to arrive at (7,1)

Draw a straight line through (0,7) and (7,1) to complete the graph.
Extend this line as far as you can in either direction.
