Answer 1

`y = -7x - 22`

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope `m` which passes through the point `(x_1,y_1)` is

`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)`

In the above exercise, we have `m=-7` and `(x_1,y_1) = (-2, -8)`. Plugging those into our formula, we get

`y-(-8) = -7(x-(-2))`

`=> y+8 = -7(x+2)`

`=> y+8 = -7x - 14`

`:. y = -7x - 22`
