Step 1: Find the slope
Point 1 = (0, -4)
Point 2 = (-7, -10)
m = (-10 - - 4) / (-7 - 0) = (-10 + 4) / (-7 - 0) = -6 / -7 = 6/7
m = 6/7
Step 2: Find the y-intercept
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
-m is the slope
-b is the y-intercept
---Plug in any of the given points as well as the slope into slope-intercept form and solve for b
Point: (-7, -10)
-10 = (6/7)(-7) + b
-10 = -6 + b
b = -4
Step 3: Form the equation
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
m = 6/7
b = -4
y = 6/7x - 4
Hope this helps!! :)
