Answer:

y = -5x -7

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Slope:

m = -5

Y-intercept:

b = -7

Slope intercept form of line:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

Putting in all the values, we have,

$y = mx + b\\y = -5(x) -7\\y = -5x -7\\y + 5x + 7 = 0$ ,

is the required equation of line.
