Answer :

Answer:

[tex]y+7=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2)[/tex]

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is given as:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Given the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope,m}=-\frac{1}{5} \\ \text{Point:}$\mleft(x_1,y_1\mright)=\mleft(2,-7\mright)$ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute into the formula above:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-7)=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2) \\ y+7=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

The equation of the line is:

[tex]y+7=-\frac{1}{5}(x-2)[/tex]
