00:01 In this problem we have been asked to write the equation of the line with a slope of negative 5 and which goes through the point (-3, -7).
00:09 So we want to write the equation in the form y is equal to mx plus b.
00:13 This is the slope intercept form and in the slope intercept form m represents the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
00:21 Now it is said that the slope is negative 5 so m will be negative 5 and so the equation will be of this form.
00:28 Now the equation goes through the point (-3, -7)...
