Answer:

[tex]y=x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis
  • y and x stay as they are while m and b are replaced with numerical values

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

We're given that the slope of the line is 1. Plug this into the above equation

[tex]y=1x+b\\y=x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=x+b[/tex]

Plug in the given point (-7,-7)

[tex]-7=-7+b[/tex]

Add 7 to both sides to isolate b

[tex]-7+7=-7+b+7\\0=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept is 0. Plug this back into [tex]y=x+b[/tex]

[tex]y=x+0\\y=x[/tex]

I hope this helps!
