You can put this solution on YOUR website!
given: slope m=-1%2F7 and point (x1, y1)=(-7, 5)
y=mx%2B-b.........slope-intercept form
if you are given one point:

y=mx%2B%28y1-mx1%29
y=-%281%2F7%29x%2B%285-%28-1%2F7%29%28-7%29%29
y=-%281%2F7%29x%2B%285-%287%2F7%29%29
y=-%281%2F7%29x%2B%285-1%29

y=-%281%2F7%29x%2B4
