Standard form of the linear equation is #color(green)(x + y + 1 = 0#

Standard form of linear equation is #Ax + By + C = 0#

Given #(x_1 = -6, y = -7, slope# #m = -1#

Then the equation of the line is #y - y_1 = m * (x - x_1)#

#y + 7 = -1 * (x + 6)#

#y + 7 + x - 6 = 0# bringing all the terms to L H S.

Standard form of the linear equation is #x + y + 1 = 0#
