Start at the point ( 0, -7) and draw a line through (1,-8) and (2,-9)

Explanation:

The formula for a linear equation is y=mx+by=mx+b
mm is the slope of the line, the rise over the run
bb is the yy intercept, the place where the line crosses the y-axis

So the yy-intercept is (0,-7) and the slope is -1 / 1
