    So you're going to need to find the slope. in order to do that use (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

    (7 - (-2)) / (0-8)

    simplify

    9/-8

    simplify - 9/8

    now using y=mx+b, we need to find b. so we can plug in the coordinates of (0,7) or (8,-2). let's use (8,-2) because it involves more math.

    y=mx+b

    -2 = (-9/8) (8) + b

    multiply (-9/8) by 8 to get - 9

    -2=-9+b

    add 9 to both sides

    7=b

    so our equation is now

    y = - (9/8) x+7
