Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.
slope is -7, and (0,-6) is on the line.

y = - 7x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

The slope is given as - 7 and the line passes through (0, - 6)

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 0, y = - 6 and m= - 7 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 6 = 0 × -6 + c

c = - 6

The equation becomes

y = - 7x - 6
