Answer:

y=-x+3

Explanation:

we have

y+4=-(x-7)

This is the equation of the line in point slope form

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Convert the equation to slope intercept form

remove the parenthesis right side

y+4=-x+7

subtract 4 both sides

y+4-4=-x+7-4

y=-x+3 ---> equation in slope intercept form
