y=-36/49x+73/1029

Explanation:

The general idea is to use this formula and just substitute the point e the slope:
y-y_p=m(x-x_p)

Hence we get:
y-(-47/21)=-36/49(x-22/7)

y+47/21=-36/49x+792/343

y=-36/49x+792/343-47/21

The LCD is 1029
y=-36/49x+(2376-2303)/1029

The final equation is:
y=-36/49x+73/1029
